Ambushed!

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.
