How Kate Warne Saved President Lincoln

The book tells the story of Kate Warne, the first female detective in America, who was hired by Allan Pinkerton in 1856 after convincing him that a woman could gather secrets that men could not. During her most important case, she went undercover as a society lady to investigate and stop a plot to assassinate President-elect Abraham Lincoln on his way to his inauguration. The picture-book adaptation highlights this historic mission that helped protect the 16th president.
