Manhunt
Overview
The president has been shot. The assassin has vanished into the night. The nation is holding its breath. In the twelve days after Abraham Lincoln is murdered, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, played by Tobias Menzies, leads a desperate hunt for John Wilkes Booth, played by Anthony Boyle, through Washington and into the swamps of Maryland and Virginia. Every hour matters. Every lead could be a trap. And the search turns into a race against panic, conspiracy, and a country threatening to come apart at the seams. Tense and richly detailed, this historical thriller follows investigators, soldiers, and ordinary people caught in the dragnet, bringing the chaos and grief of those days vividly to life. It is about justice under pressure, and how a nation tried to hold itself together in its darkest hour. Gripping stuff.
