Synopsis
āWhat do you get when you cross Abraham Lincoln with Sherlock Holmes? The alchemy of creative genius. Matthews brings us to the intersection of history and fiction in this beautifully written epic full of unfathomable twists and turns. Itās elementary: this book is sensational.āĀ (Jim Campbell, syndicated radio host and author ofĀ Madoff Talks: Uncovering the Untold Story Behind the Most Notorious Ponzi Scheme in History)
āPresident Lincoln is assassinated in his private box at Fordās!ā
When those harrowing words ring out during a childrenās entertainment in Washington on the evening of April 14, 1865, a quick-thinking young chemist from England named Johnnie Holmes grabs the 12-year-old son of the dying president, races the boy to safety, and soon finds himself enlisted in the most infamous manhunt in history.
One Must Tell the BeesĀ is the untold story of Sherlock Holmesā journey from the streets of London to the White House of Abraham Lincoln and, in company with a freed slave named after the dead president, their breathtaking pursuit and capture of John Wilkes Booth. It is the very first case of the man who would become known to the world as Sherlock Holmes, and as listeners will discover, it will haunt him until his very last.
At a time when Western history is being reexamined and retold, old heroes cast aside and statues torn down, and even the legacy of Abraham Lincoln, āthe Great Emancipatorā, is questioned,Ā One Must Tell the BeesĀ is a timely reminder that our history deserves to be understood before it is entirely undone.
