Non-Fiction for Teens With Some Action submitted by Brad B. on December 6, 2010, 11:41am Tense, gripping, and even at times gruesome, this mystery has an extra punch from the fact that it's true. If you are looking for a great bit of historical non-fiction that reads as well as any fictional thriller then check this out. Chasing Lincoln's Killer chronicles the manhunt for John Wilkes Booth in all its harrowing detail. It's excellent as an audio book too with voice work by Will Paton.
Manhunt submitted by jaegerla on July 25, 2011, 11:31am A simple and quickly paced description of the twelve day manhunt for John Wilkes Booth. A good true crime read for teens and adults.
