Description
History remembers William Alvin Lloyd as the subject of Totten vs. United States--which set precedent for espionage law--but was he a total fraud? Lincoln's Secret Spy is a high-spirited historical caper about a notorious scoundrel who may have been Abraham Lincoln's secret agent in the Confederacy.
