Bounty for Booth: a Novel Scott Westmoreland

Who is Gabe Stone? And what secret does he harbor surrounding the Lincoln assassination? Reality bumps into the bizarre when a memoir is discovered beneath the deathbed of a mental patient. Jeremy Gabrick Stone journals his flight from a Louisiana plantation to Mansfield, Ohio, where he suffers head trauma while attempting to save the life of a beautiful young lady. They fall in love, and elope to New York City, where his artistic talents procure employment with the famed actors Edwin and John Wilkes Booth. Disaster strikes. In his grief, Gabe follows John Wilkes to Washington, where the artist paints the President's portrait, and a friendship is forged---placing Gabe squarely between Lincoln and his assassin. When all roads lead to tragedy, Gabe devises a Grand Plan to save Lincoln's life, perhaps even Booth's. But how? Do the senses deceive, or does the course of history remain indelibly written... In the flavor of Mark Twain, Bounty For Booth will not only refresh your spirit, but intrigue and inspire with its examination of life, morality, friendship and human dignity. In best-selling artist Scott Westmoreland's debut novel, conspiracy theory has never been so boldly entertaining.
