Hanged! Mary Surratt and the Plot to Assassinate Abraham Lincoln

"Sarah Miller, author of The Borden Murders, is a master at taking historical events and making them read like thrillers, and Hanged! is no exception. Mary Surratt was the first woman executed in the United States, but was she really guilty of harboring the nest of vipers at the center of Lincoln’s assassination? Or was she the victim of legal injustice? A thrilling, well-researched and revealing story of one of the best-known crimes in American history; nonfiction you won’t want to put down."
