March 6, 1861: On the day of Abraham Lincoln's inauguration, the air is charged with hope and apprehension. The last thing anyone wants is any sort of upset--let alone murder! Fortunately, the president has young Adam Quinn by his side . . .

March 4, 1861: On the day of Abraham Lincoln’s inauguration, the last thing anyone wants is any sort of hitch in the proceedings—let alone murder! Fortunately the president has young Adam Quinn by his side . . .
 
Lincoln’s trusted entourage is on their guard. Allan Pinkerton, head of the president’s security team, is wary of potential assassins. And Lincoln’s oldest friend, Joshua Speed, is by his side, along with Speed’s nephew, Adam Quinn—called back from the Kansas frontier to serve as the president’s assistant and jack-of-all-trades.
 
Despite the tight security, trouble comes nonetheless. A man is found stabbed to death in a nearby room, only yards from the president. Not wishing to cause alarm, Lincoln dispatches young Quinn to discreetly investigate. Though he is new to Washington, DC, he must navigate through high society, political personages, and a city preparing for war in order to solve the crime. He finds unexpected allies in a determined female journalist named Sophie Gates, and Dr. Hilton, a free man of color. Together they must make haste to apprehend a killer. Nothing less than the fate of the nation is at stake . . .

Praise for Murder In The Lincoln White House

Praise for the works of C.M. Gleason:
"Gleason Kicks off a new series with an adequate mystery and more than adequate descriptions of the nation's capital at a critical moment in history."--Kirkus Reviews

"Exhilarating . . . Sure to please." --The New York Times Sunday Book Review on The Clockwork Scarab

"With its fog-shrouded setting, its heart-racing and clever plot and, most of all, its two completely delightful, kick-butt heroines, The Clockwork Scarab is pure, delicious fun from beginning to end."--Rachel Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author on The Clockwork Scarab

"Lots of fun. Plenty of action mixes with a hint of romance, and the ancient Egyptian overlay adds atmosphere."--Booklist on The Clockwork Scarab

"This is an excellent addition to Gleason's series and will have readers clamoring for more." - VOYA on The Chess Queen
Enigma

"Every literary cog and wheel has its distinct function--the authentic historical framework, the adeptly integrated steampunk devices, the compelling personalities and backgrounds of the outwardly tough but inwardly vulnerable heroines--yet all work together in easy synchronization." - School Library Journal on The Spiritglass Charade
