"Manhunt: the 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer" by James L. Swanson


This nonfiction book read like a mystery/thriller. All agreed that the pacing was wonderful and full of information that many had no idea had occured. Everyone knows the basic story of President Lincoln's assasination by John Wilkes Booth in the Ford Theater, but the level of detail presented by the author was fascinating. The book completely captured the spirit of the times and allowed the reader to become totally involved in the complexities of finding Mr. Booth and bringing him to justice.
