Paperback. Zustand: Collectible-Very Good. A gripping historical novel set amidst the confusion and chaos of the Civil War,Boothis the story of the only conspirator in the plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln who was not killed or executed--a young man who falls under the spell of the charismatic and captivating world-famous stage actor, and is gradually sucked into the vortex of Booth's insidious plans.
