This groundbreaking book gives us a whole new perspective on one of the seminal events of American history. Surratt was Booth's closest associate during the four months leading up to the assassination, and he was a known member of the Confederate Secret Service with ties to the highest levels of Confederate Government. If there is a missing link between Jefferson Davis and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, his name is John Surratt. Adding to the intrigue, John's mother, Mary Surratt, was hanged for conspiracy to murder Lincoln, while John was hiding out in Canada. Surratt's two-year run from the law is a fascinating adventure, spanning the globe from New York to Quebec, Great Britain, France, Italy and Egypt. In JOHN SURRATT: THE LINCOLN ASSASSIN WHO GOT AWAY, Michael Schein even-handedly marshals the evidence on both sides of the question of Surratt's culpability in both Lincoln's and his own mother's death, leaving final answers for his readers to glean.
