The “gripping” “thought-provoking” (Publishers Weekly) tale of the Confederate spy who was Booth’s closest associate for the planning of Lincoln’s assassination, but who managed to escape justice in a 15,000 mile flight around the world. “In this well-researched, beautifully written account of John Surratt, Schein brings historical justice to a man who has been given a pass for too long.” – Edward Steers, Jr., Author of Blood on the Moon
