"Lincoln's Grave Robbers" by Steve Sheinkin recounts the true story of a plot to steal the remains of President Abraham Lincoln from his tomb. Set in the early 1900s, the narrative follows Secret Service agents as they uncover a scheme by a group of con men who aim to hold Lincoln’s body for ransom. The investigation reveals historical tensions surrounding Lincoln's legacy and the desperate lengths to which some will go for money and notoriety. Blending history with thrilling detective work, Sheinkin crafts a compelling tale filled with intrigue, danger, and a deep respect for one of America’s most beloved leaders.
