James Garfield has only been the United States president for a few days when a
stranger begins stalking him. Who is this man? And what does he want from the
president? For weeks, the threat to Garfield grows, undetected, until a sudden
violent encounter catches Washington by surprise.
In this gripping thriller, Sibert Honor-winner Gail Jarrow continues her Medical
Fiascoes series by exploring events from the summer of 1881. Anxious Americans
intently follow news reports in the aftermath of the stranger’s shocking attack on
Garfield. Can the president’s doctors save him? Have their mistakes put him in
new danger? Jarrow uncovers these answers and more in the haunting true story
about a fiasco that changed the course of political and medical history.
