Book Description
Jack Markov was building his professional reputation as nurse manager by moving from one medical group to another and implementing the changes he believed were necessary to ensure that they would thrive in the coming decades. But these changes adversely affected the benefits and working conditions of his nurses. Now, Jack was coming to the North Bayonne Medical Group, and his reputation had preceded him. At the retirement party for the outgoing nurse manager, Jack gave a speech reaffirming the nurses' worst fears. Someone attending the affair decided to act before Jack could even start his first day on the job. That person poisoned Jack's drink with methanol, and a few hours later, Jack was dead. Two months later, the police were making no progress, and the medical group hired detective Amy Bell to investigate the killing. Amy soon realized that she had an overabundance of suspects. All twenty–three nurses at the party hated Jack's guts. So did their spouses, many of whom were also in attendance. But as the vivacious and witty Amy dug deeper, she discovered that several people at the party had other motives for killing Jack. She uncovered ugly and painful secrets that they would not want revealed. However, even with the assistance of her husband Jeremy – with whom she had many loving but fierce political disputes – Amy realized that identifying the killer at this point was a long shot. And bringing the killer to justice, by coming up with proof, was an even longer shot. Author David Schwinger, when not writing Amy Bell mysteries – there are now ten – enjoys composing songs, playing pickleball, and traveling the world with his wife, Sherryl. He first met Sherryl when she was his student in a mathematics class he taught at City College of New York. Their secret romance became the inspiration for his first Amy Bell mystery, The Teacher's Pet Murders.

Book Description
Transcripts from the trial of John Wilkes Booth’s co-conspirators, plus commentary:“Unquestionably the world-class expert on . . . Lincoln’s assassination.” ―Civil War News On the night of April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Abraham Lincoln in what he envisioned part of a scheme to plunge the federal government into chaos and gain a reprieve for the struggling Confederacy. The plan failed. By April 26, Booth was killed resisting capture and eight of the nine conspirators eventually charged in Lincoln's murder were in custody. Their trial would become one of the most famous and most controversial in US history. New president Andrew Johnson’s executive order on May 1 directed that persons charged with Lincoln’s murder stand trial before a military tribunal. The trial lasted more than fifty days, and 366 witnesses gave testimony. Benn Pitman, an expert in phonography—an early form of shorthand—was awarded a government contract to produce a transcription of each day’s testimony. Pitman made these transcripts available to the prosecution and defense, as well as select members of the press. Although three versions of the testimony were published, Pitman’s edited collection was the most accessible. He skillfully winnowed the 4,300 pages of transcription into one volume, collated the testimony by defendant, indexed it by name and date, and added summaries. In The Trial, assassination scholars guide readers through all 421 pages of testimony, illuminating Pitman’s record. By drawing together the evidence that resulted in the conspirators’ convictions, The Trial leaves no doubt as to the events surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, making this book a fascinating account of the trial as well as an essential resource. “Steers’s lineup is truly expert—readers will be able to distinguish between fact and fancy and come away with a far better understanding of Lincoln’s assassination.” —William Hanchett, author of The Lincoln Murder Conspiracies
