Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A nation shattered by its president\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s murder. Two diaries that reveal the true scope of an American conspiracy. A detective determined to bring the truth to light, no matter what it costs him<\/span><\/p>\n

From award-winning journalist Timothy L. O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Brien comes a gripping historical thriller that poses a provocative question: What if the plot to assassinate President Lincoln was wider and more sinister than we ever imagined?<\/p>\n

In late spring of 1865, as America mourns the death of its leader, Washington, D.C., police detective Temple McFadden makes a startling discovery. Strapped to the body of a dead man at the B&O Railroad station are two diaries, two documents that together reveal the true depth of the Lincoln conspiracy. Securing the diaries will put Temple\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s life in jeopardy\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand will endanger the fragile peace of a nation still torn by war.<\/p>\n

Temple\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s quest to bring the conspirators to justice takes him on a perilous journey through the gaslit streets of the Civil War\u00e2\u20ac\u201cera capital, into bawdy houses and back alleys where ruthless enemies await him in every shadowed corner. Aided by an underground network of friends\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand by his wife, Fiona, a nurse who possesses a formidable arsenal of medicinal potions\u00e2\u20ac\u201dTemple must stay one step ahead of Lafayette Baker, head of the Union Army\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s spy service. Along the way, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll run from or rely on Edwin Stanton, Lincoln\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fearsome secretary of war; the legendary Scottish spymaster Allan Pinkerton; abolitionist Sojourner Truth; the photographer Alexander Gardner; and many others.<\/p>\n

Bristling with twists and building to a climax that will leave readers gasping, The Lincoln Conspiracy offers a riveting new account of what truly motivated the assassination of one of America\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s most beloved presidents\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand who participated in the plot to derail the train of liberty that Lincoln set in motion.<\/p>\n
