{"product_id":"9780060518493","title":"Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe murder of Abraham Lincoln set off the greatest manhunt in American history -- the pursuit and capture of John Wilkes Booth. From April 14 to April 26, 1865, the assassin led Union cavalry and detectives on a wild twelve-day chase through the streets of Washington, D.C., across the swamps of Maryland, and into the forests of Virginia, while the nation, still reeling from the just-ended Civil War, watched in horror and sadness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the very center of this story is John Wilkes Booth, America's notorious villain. A Confederate sympathizer and a member of a celebrated acting family, Booth threw away his fame and wealth for a chance to avenge the South's defeat. For almost two weeks, he confounded the manhunters, slipping away from their every move and denying them the justice they sought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on rare archival materials, obscure trial transcripts, and Lincoln's own blood relics, \u003cem\u003eManhunt\u003c\/em\u003e is a fully documented work, but it is also a fascinating tale of murder, intrigue, and betrayal. A gripping hour-by-hour account told through the eyes of the hunted and the hunters, this is history as you've never read it before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011096953072,"sku":"9780060518493","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780060518493_p0.jpg?v=1763765280","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780060518493","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
