I can also recommend Manhunt, by James L Swanson. It's not about Lincoln as such, but about his assassination and the hunt for the conspirators. It's really quite gripping. I started browsing it in a Barnes & Noble, decided to buy, and finished it almost at one sitting.

Thanks for the recommendation.
Will definitely be acquiring 'Manhunt'. Sounds like a fascinating insight.
