Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer by James L. Swanson is a work of narrative history and historical true crime about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the pursuit of John Wilkes Booth. Rather than treating the murder at Ford's Theatre as an isolated event, Swanson reconstructs the wider conspiracy, the immediate confusion in Washington, and the intense twelve-day search that followed. The book is grounded in historical research but written with the pacing of a thriller, moving through military orders, witness accounts, hiding places, river crossings, and political fear. Its purpose is not only to describe how Booth was found, but also to show how a wounded federal government tried to preserve authority at the end of the Civil War. The result is a detailed account of crime, flight, investigation, and national trauma, aimed at general readers as well as those interested in Lincoln, the Civil War, and American political violence.
