β¦ Synopsis
March 4, 1861: On the day of Abraham Lincoln's inauguration, the air is charged with hope and apprehension. The last thing anyone wants is any sort of hitch in the proceedings --let alone murder! Fortunately the president has young Adam Quinn by his side . . .
At the inaugural ball, Lincoln's trusted entourage is on their guard. Allan Pinkerton, head of the president's security team, is wary of potential assassins. And Lincoln's oldest friend, Joshua Speed, is by his side, along with Speed's nephew, Adam Quinn--called back from the Kansas frontier to serve as the president's assistant and jack-of-all-trades.
Despite the tight security, trouble comes nonetheless. A man is found stabbed to death in a nearby room, only yards from the president. Not wishing to cause alarm, Lincoln dispatches young Quinn--instead of the high-profile Pinkerton--to discreetly investigate.
Could the proximity of the murder possibly be a coincidence? Or is the crime...
