About This Book

A STOLEN CONFEDERATE SWORD: CLUE IN THE SINISTER PLOT TO KILL PRESIDENT LINCOLN...

On April 11, 1865, young Capt. Stephen Bedford, late of the Confederate Army, meets and falls in love with a beautiful Unionist from Boston, Becky Windfield. On that same day, Capt. Bedford, a strong Secessionist but a man of honor, comes upon evidence of a plot to murder Secretary of State Seward, Vice President Johnson, General U.S. Grant and President Lincoln.

Becky is in Washington, D.C., to persuade the great actor, John Wilkes Booth, to perform for War Relief, and thus she is unknowingly drawn into the network of conspiracy. When Stephen Bedford's sword is stolen and used to murder his closest friend, he realizes if he can find it in time, he can save the lives of America's leaders - and the life of Becky, who has been kidnapped by the conspirators.
