Summary

"When those harrowing words ring out during a children's entertainment in Washington on the evening of April 14, 1865, a quick-thinking young chemist from England named Johnnie Holmes grabs Tad Lincoln, the 12-year-old son of the dying President, races the boy to safety and soon finds himself enlisted in the most infamous manhunt in history. One Must Tell the Bees is the untold story of young Holmes's journey from the streets of London to the White House of Abraham Lincoln -- and his breathtaking pursuit of John Wilkes Booth in the company of the freed slave named Abraham. It is the very first case of the man who would become known to the world as Sherlock Holmes, and as readers will discover, it will haunt him until his very last."--Back cover
