Description on Back Cover
In the spring of 1865, the bloody saga of America's Civil War finally comes to an end after a series of increasingly harrowing battles. President Abraham Lincoln's generous terms for Robert E. Lee's surrender are devised to fulfill Lincoln's dream of healing a divided nation. But one man and his band of murderous accomplices, perhaps reaching into the highest ranks of the U.S. Government, are not appeased.
In the midst of the patriotic celebrations in Washington D.C., John Wilkes Booth - charismatic ladies' man and impenitent racist - murders Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theatre. A furious manhunt ensues and Booth immediately becomes the country's most wanted fugitive. Featuring some of history's most remarkable figures, vivid detail, and page turning action, Killing Lincoln is history that reads like a thriller.

I love these "Killing" books by Bill O'Reilly. I think my BC friend, book_drunkard, will like this book too as she is a fan of True Crime stories. Sending this off to her as part of a book trade.
I've been *dying* to read this one and actually thought that I'd added it to my wishlist but I just checked and it wasn't there ... and now I don't have to add it!
Thank you very much!!!
