Publisher's summary

Twenty-nine-year-old Abraham Lincoln has spent his entire adult life running from his past - from the poverty of the dirt-floor log cabin where he was raised, from the dominion of his uneducated father, and from a failed early courtship. But now, Lincoln's past is racing back to haunt him.

It is the summer of 1838, and Springfield is embroiled in a tumultuous, violent political season. All of Springfield's elite have gathered at a grand party to celebrate the Fourth of July. Spirits are high - until a prominent local politician is assassinated in the midst of fireworks. When his political rival is arrested, young lawyer Lincoln and his best friend Joshua Speed are back on the case to investigate.

It's no ordinary trial, however, as Lincoln and Speed soon face unwelcome complications. Lincoln's ne'er-do-well father and stepbrother appear in town and threaten Lincoln's good name and political future. And before long, anonymous letters start appearing in the local newspapers, with ominous threats that make Lincoln fear for himself and his loved ones.

As the day of reckoning arrives, the threats against Lincoln continue to escalate. Lincoln and Speed must identify the culprit and fast, before Lincoln loses the race to outrun his past in Final Resting Place, the brilliant third installment of Jonathan F. Putnam's acclaimed Lincoln and Speed mysteries.

History Alive

Loved this novel partly due to the interesting people and partly due to our political American history. Very good storyline.

Brilliant story!!!

I can't wait for the next book in this series! The writing is brilliant with its careful attention to historical references being woven into the fiction. The narration is spot on and soothing to my ears.

I've listened to all 4 of the books available here in this series and have enjoyed them all immensely!

final resting place.

I found that this historical fiction was quite interesting. it showed you how the people lived how the reactions were they talked about duels murders. about crooked people doing wrong things. crime was solved. And there is also killings. it's quite a great book. it keeps you thinking. I like hysterical fiction. I highly recommend this for a good read.

Lincoln is front and center

My previous complaint was that there was more Speed to Lincoln, the third book fixes this short coming. Lincoln is front and center throughout the book. It is surprising that this book and politics in the late 1830s has many parallels to our troubled times.
