An excellent supplement to a walking tour I took while in Washington, D.C., in 2010. Most of the infamous sites mentioned are within several blocks of each other. It is clear that writing is not Mr. O'Reilly's primary specialty, making this an average novel from a literary standpoint, but historically, it is a fantastic picture of the time. It begins with the painful last days of the Civil War, and ends with a recap of the possibilities for conspiracy, without suggesting any final truth to them.
