The true story of Abraham Lincoln’s last murder trial, a case in which he had a deep personal involvement–and which played out in the nation’s newspapers as he began his presidential campaign.





Controversial, bold, personal, and illuminating–A future of Faith will serve to be essential reading for not only Catholics, but those who want to see how the “people’s pope” confronts the social injustices of the world with the foresight to create positive change.
When a West Oakland party gets violent, Alameda County coroner’s deputy Clay Edicon gets a call. The bad news: several people are dead. The really bad news: there’s a victim no one can identify, and she’s been strangled instead of shot.
When Sarah meets Eddie, they connect instantly and fall in love. To Sarah, it seems as though her life has finally begun. And it’s mutual: It’s as though Eddie has been waiting for her, too. Sarah has never been so certain of anything. So when Eddie leaves for a long-booked vacation and promises to call from the airport, she has no cause to doubt him. But he doesn’t call. Sarah’s friends tell her to forget about him, but she can’t. She knows something’s happened–there must be an explanation. Minutes, days, weeks go by as Sarah become increasingly worried. But then she discovers she’s right. There is a reason for Eddie’s disappearance, and it’s the one thing they didn’t share with each other: the truth.
