particular.
In KILLING LINCOLN OReilly and his co-author, Martin Dugard will
bring readersto the burning fields of Saylers Creek, into Fords
Theater and into the mind of Lincolns
assassin, John Wilkes Booth, and on the manhunt to find and
bring to justice the killer of

the interest of millions of Americans in our own

Bill OReilly is going to surprise everyone again, said Stephen
Rubin He and MartinDugard are going to reinvigorate what we think
of as familiar history. Bills last book, A
BOLD FRESH PIECE OF HUMANITY is still on the bestseller list for
more than ayear and I am looking forward to topping that
success.
And personally it is a joy being reunited with Bill. Publishing
him has been one of the
proudest achievements of my career.
Stephen Rubin recognizes the importance of this project, said
Mr. OReilly. Because
Abraham Lincoln remains the most widely admired American
president in history, wewant to humanize him in a way that makes
him relevant to todays Americans. And, we
have uncovered some startling new information about Lincolns
assassination which
readers will find interesting to say the least.
