Chasing Lincoln's Killer: The Search for John Wilkes Booth by James L Swanson
Chasing Lincoln's Killer is based on James L. Swanson's New York Times bestselling book, Manhunt, also an Apple TV+ Series.
Based on rare archival material, obscure trial manuscripts, and interviews with relatives of the conspirators and the manhunters, Chasing Lincoln's Killer is a fast-paced thriller about the pursuit and capture of John Wilkes Booth: a wild twelve-day chase through the streets of Washington, D.C., across the swamps of Maryland, and into the forests of Virginia.
Swanson is the bestselling author of Manhunt: The 12-Day Hunt for Lincoln's murderer, which won an award. Hunting Lincoln's Murderer, a young adult adaptation of Manhunt, and The President Has Been Shot! are among his other works. Kennedy was a finalist for the YALSA-ALA Award for Excellence in Young Adult Nonfiction. In Washington, D.C., he has held a number of government and think-tank positions.
