Fiction. Mystery. Historical Fiction. HTML:

This superbly researched, brilliantly plotted, and thoroughly gripping mystery draws readers into a sinister conspiracy of assassination and intrigue.

In March 1900, as former congressman John Bingham lies dying, he tells a strange tale to his physician, Dr. Jamie Fraser. Bingham famously prosecuted eight members of John Wilkes Booth's plot to kill President Lincoln. But during the 1865 trial, conspirator Mary Surratt divulged a secret so explosive it could still shatter the republic. It is a secret Bingham takes to his graveâ??and a mystery that awakens Fraser's curiosity.

Bored with his small-town medical practice, Fraser begins to investigate, securing an ally in Speed Cook, a black, college-educated professional ballplayer and would-be newspaperman. Both of them agree that the accepted version of Lincoln's assassination somehow rings false. Was Booth truly the mastermindâ??or were other, more powerful forces behind it all?

Following a trail across the country, the unlikely pair tracks down key figures and witnesses, uncovering a long-hidden story of greed, ambition, courage, and tragedy. But there are those who want the story to stay buriedâ??and are more than willing to bury Fraser and Cook along with it.

Blending real and fictional characters, The Lincoln Deception is an "entertaining, educating, and elevating" mystery that explores one of the nation's darkest and most fascinating eras, and the plot that changed world history (David L. Robbins).… (más)

A dying declaration by the prosecutor of eight members of John Wilkes Booth’s plot to assassinate President Lincoln could change history. That is if his doctor can unravel the mystery.

This is David O. Stewart's first book of fiction. He has written other nonfiction books about American history. "The Lincoln Deception" takes another look at the theory that John Wilkes Booth was the lone gunman who orchestrated the assassination of Lincoln with a few followers. Through a work of fiction, Stewart proposes that there was a much higher level conspiracy than that. In fact, he states in the interview at the end of the book, "it was not an assassination so much as an attempted coup d’état." I had not realized that there had been other attempted assassinations at the same time before I read this book.

At the end of the interview Stewart talks of his admiration for Josephine Tey's The Daughter of Time and said that he hoped that his book would "work some of that same magic with the Booth story." I think that, like Tey, he has brought new facts to the readers' attention which may make them question the standard history of the Lincoln assassination.
