A very good historically based hunt for the larger conspiracy behind the Lincoln Assassination.
It began as well paced page turner with two interesting leads, Dr. Jamie Fraser and Black former major leaguer Speed Cook ( loosely based on Moses Fleetwood Walker). The two play off of each other well eventually becoming a working tandem. It was as the book approached its climax that it began to bother me. Nearing the end with no resolution yet fully in sight, I had a sinking feeling that it would wrap up too quickly. I was right. The ending feels forced and slapped on and the leads resolve themselves to it much too quickly.
A good read for the first 7/8ths anyway.
