Andrew Johnson was called The Great Commoner, appealing to the masses, loathing the establishment and anyone he deemed elitist. Once Johnson made an enemy, you became his enemy for life. He saw insults where none were intended and personal loyalty meant everything… and his devoted fans would follow him into the depths of Hell. He was also the first U.S. president to be impeached.
Time however waits for no man and even the famous (or infamous) must leave this world eventually. But when a man has as many enemies as the Devil, what death could really be a natural one? From political opponents to most of his own family, the suspects are endless, and the truth not really wanted. John Hay, lawyer, sometimes governmental bureaucrat, and now journeyman investigative reporter, is set on finding that truth. And it may wind up killing him.
BURT SOLOMON (he/him) is a contributing editor at The Atlantic and the author of The Murder of Willie Lincoln, his first John Hay novel, as well as the acclaimed Where They Ain't, a history of baseball in the 1890s. At National Journal, where he covered the White House and other aspects of Washington life, he was awarded the Gerald R. Ford Prize for Distinguished Reporting on the Presidency. He and his wife live in Arlington, Virginia.
