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. sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica
