Benjamin King puts a new twist on the old mystery of Lincoln's
death. Deep within the plot is the manipulative and corrosive
character Anderson. The same man who outwitted the Confederates in
King's first novel, A Bullet for Stonewall, is back to execute the
most history-altering plan of his career. King has done extensive
research on the assassination as well as the years that followed.
In his work, he looked at how political plans changed following
Lincoln's death. The guiding factor of his sleuthing was to
determine who seemed to benefit from the aftermath. And thus he
found the premise for this, his second novel. A group of young Wall
Street entrepreneurs, including soon-to-be-tycoon J. P. Morgan,
analyze the impact of the end of the war. They are angered by
Lincoln's plan to invest in rebuilding the South. They search for a
way to guarantee that the government will, instead, invest in their
economic interests in the West. That search leads them to Anderson,
the assassin with a money-back guarantee. Under numerous guises, he
begins to assemble a plot to frame the South for the death of the
president. Befriending Booth, Anderson inspires the actor to take
control of his Southern sympathies and put actions behind his
feelings. Meanwhile, he also infiltrates a Confederate spy ring,
adding more names to the list of scapegoats he will leave behind.
Relying heavily on historical accuracies, A Bullet for Lincoln
minimizes its fictional medium, making Anderson and his task highly
believable. The pressure of a federal agent closing in for his own
kill heightens the challenge and suspense for Anderson. He faces
unparalleled dangers as he tries to maintain his secret identity
and still pull off the greatest coup in the nation's history.
