Publisher's summary

By day, actor John Wilkes Booth is a charming Confederate spy; by night, a tragic and troubled figure leading a double life.

As he attempts to uncover Abraham Lincoln’s habits by speaking with his medium, Booth becomes tormented by a malevolent spirit and devises a plan to assassinate the President.

In the midst of his murderous plan, Booth falls in love with the beautiful actress, Alice Grey. As their growing love tests their loyalties, will death or duty prevail?

A Picture of John Wilkes Booth

Most Americans know that John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Abraham Lincoln. But what was he really like? Diana Rubino paints a vivid picture of "Wilkes" as he was known to his friends, or "Johnny" as he was called by his lovers. We see Booth as an actor, womanizer, confederate supporter and spy, determined to make his mark on history. I enjoyed the story with its forays into the spirit world and well-drawn characters. The narration sadly had some notable flaws but did not detract from the quality of the story.
