You don’t need to be a history buff to get wrapped up in this historical thriller. After the success of The First Conspiracy, Brad Meltzer and John Mensch team up for a second time to uncover the little-known, failed first plot to assassinate Lincoln.

Although The Lincoln Conspiracy: The Secret Plot to Kill America’s 16th President is a detailed historical account of a critical period of American history, it reads like a thriller. There are spies, conspiracies, adventure, and larger than life characters.

For fans of American history or thrillers.
