Abraham Lincoln, the legitimate President of the United States, is using all his will to keep his beloved land together. But Lincoln's will and soul are tested when tragedy strikes the White House as Willie Lincoln, the love and shining light in the president's heart, is taken by typhoid fever. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut was this really the cause of his death? A message arrives, suggesting otherwise. Lincoln asks John Hay, his trusted aide--and almost a son--to investigate Willie's death. Some see Hay as a gadfly--adventurous, incisive, lusty, reflective, skeptical, even cynical--but he loves the president and so seeks the truth behind the boy's death. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd so, as we follow Hay in his investigation, we are shown the loftiest and lowest corners of Washington City, from the president's office and the gentleman's dining room at Willard's Hotel to the alley hovels, wartime hospitals, and the dome-less Capitol's vermin-infested subbasement. We see the unfamiliar sides of a grief-stricken president, his hellcat of a wife, and their two surviving and suffering sons, and Hay matches wits with such luminaries as General McClellan, William Seward, and the indomitable detective Allan Pinkerton. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat Hay discovers has the potential of not only destroying Lincoln, but a nation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBurt Solomon is a contributing editor for \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eNational Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, where he has covered the White House and many other aspects of Washington life.
