This book is historically precise, accurate and detailed yet it is an easy read. The authors style of writing is captivating. It was the kind of book that someone would label as hard to put down. The map included lets you follow the path of the fugitives and leaves you feeling like you have been there. All of that was a good enough reason to buy the book, but then at the end of the book there is not only a compilation of resources for further research, but gives you details about how some of those involved ended up in life. Excellent book. On a side note, HBO contracted to make a movie of this book in 2008 but to date has not released one. There is, however, a movie coming out about Mary Surratt. She was a key player in the success of the assassination. The movie is Directed by Robert Redford and Stars Robin Wright in the key role. It just keeps getting better!Read full review
I'm only half way through the book but I really enjoy the detail the author uses to describe an historic event of such importance.

This is a great book covering the chase of Lincoln’s killer. Swanson did a good informative writing of these 12 days chase. I liked this book, and I will be happy to see the motion pictures based on this book.
