On May 8, 2020 Books & Books, Miami Book Fair, and the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce presented A Virtual Evening With Brad Meltzer to celebrate the publication of “The Lincoln Conspiracy”. Brad was in conversation with Mark Trowbridge, of the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce. Everyone knows the story of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination in 1865, but few are aware of the original conspiracy to kill him four years earlier in 1861, literally on his way to Washington, DC, for his first inauguration.“This is a story few people know, one that’s set in a time of deep political division in America,” Meltzer says. “It shows us what good leaders can do in times of strife – perfectly on point for where our country is today.” Written in the same page-turning style as Meltzer’s other bestsellers, The Lincoln Conspiracy offers a fascinating new look at one of the most important figures in American history.
