Based on rare archival material, obscure trial manuscripts, and
interviews with relatives of the conspirators and the manhunters,
CHASING LINCOLN'S KILLER is a fast-paced thriller about the pursuit
and capture of John Wilkes Booth: a wild twelve-day chase through
the streets of Washington, D.C., across the swamps of Maryland, and
into the forests of Virginia.
"This story is true. All the characters are real and were alive
during the great manhunt of April 1865. Their words are authentic
and come from original sources: letters, manuscripts, trial
transcripts, newspapers, government reports, pamphlets, books and
other documents. What happened in Washington, D.C., that spring,
and in the swamps and rivers, forests and fields of Maryland and
Virginia during the next twelve days, is far too incredible to have
been made up."
So begins this fast-paced thriller that tells the story of the
pursuit and capture of John Wilkes Booth and gives a day-by-day
account of the wild chase to find this killer and his accomplices.
Based on James Swanson's bestselling adult book MANHUNT: THE 12-DAY
CHASE FOR LINCOLN'S KILLER, this young people's version is an
accessible look at the assassination of a president, and shows
readers Abraham Lincoln the man, the father, the husband, the
friend, and how his death impacted those closest to him.
