Unable to close his previous case against the Monument Bomber, Senior FBI Special Agent Zane Rigby has been re-assigned to uncover a secret. Is Abraham Lincoln's body in his grave? When DNA from a hand found with a blackmail note traced back to 1901 matches the DNA from bone taken at Lincoln's autopsy, Rigby is shuffled off to Springfield, Illinois where all manner of obstacles threaten his success. He discovers a local congressman hiding a dreaded secret, a strange doctor who claims he can perform medical miracles and his own ill-timed urge to rekindle a relationship with his college sweetheart. And then there is the dead body of a young woman found near Lincoln's Tomb. As the Monument Bomber threatens to strike again, Rigby searches for redemption in solving the murder and discovering the secret buried in Lincoln's tomb.
FBI Special Agent Zane Rigby, in the Office for Cases of Historical Significance, is called upon to find the answer to a more than seventy-five-year-old question. In 1935, did Franklin D. Roosevelt travel to Cocos Island off Costa Rica to go fishing or to search for the treasure of the Bloody Sword? Zane goes straight to the source of the controversy, political commentator, Paul Mallory, to force him to come clean. But when he arrives one problem stands in his way: Paul Mallory has been murdered Rigby soon finds himself in the midst of personal, political, and criminal troubles. A beautiful British treasure hunter vies for his affections; the Speaker of the House's agenda to end polarization in Washington is put in jeopardy; and Rigby's nemesis, the Monument Bomber, is determined to blow up Mount Rushmore. Each complicate and confuse Rigby at every twist and turn. All seems lost as Rigby is suspected of murder, while an assassin has him clearly in his sites and is ready to pull the trigger. Rigby must unravel the secret of the Bloody Sword or face his own bloody end.
Proposition 13 was the greatest tax revolt in American history since the Boston Tea Party. In June 1978, Californians rose up behind a colorful, irascible, unlikely leader, 74-year-old Howard Jarvis, and turned the political world upside down. The first shot in the Reagan Revolution, the Proposition 13 tax revolt changed the world. Told by an insider, this is the story of the politics, odd tales and bizarre arguments that surround the fabled tax revolt from its success at the polls to its survival, despite constant attacks, 25 years later. It is the story of a legend in the making.
