Lincoln's Grave Robbers, Steve Sheinkin. A favorite non fiction writer, this award winning author of Bomb, writes a juicy story of the real account of the attempt to steal the body of Abraham Lincoln. Counterfeiting money was a common crime in the mid-late 1800's, and at that time, the main role of the Secret Service was to collar the bandits. When the best known counterfeiter, Ben Boyd was imprisoned, plans were put into place to steal the president's body, ask for a ransom and the release of Boyd and continue with their counterfeiting business. However, the clever police Chief Patrick Tyrrell, thwarts their plans and Lincoln's body is able to finally rest in peace. This is a page turner of a story, sure to keep readers engrossed until the end.
