Step Into Lincoln's Ghetto: My hard hitting alternate history suspense series
Welcome to Lincoln's Ghetto, my unapologetic, suspenseful book series that alters U.S. history after the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln in 1865. A secret Lincoln harbored containing unimaginable reparations for freed slaves and the Native peoples, holds his quiet intentions and plans. I bend history with this fictional tale to slowly reveal his intents and what the outcomes reveal. Once exposed, the nation’s course will alter. This cannot happen, according to the evil forces who want the secret suppressed. The pursuit of this secret unleashes the ghetto Lincoln’s death created. The story plunges you into the streets of South Side Chicago in 1977, exploring the greed, corruption, and the chase for the secret reparations. This is where history collides with imagination, and no one walks away unscathed. I invite you to experience each book in the series below. Every novel is a page-turning cliff hanging journey through alternate history, lingering suspense, and gritty realism. The ride keeps you on the edge of wonder gripping onto a bit of fear as the “what if” question grows more ominous.
Lincoln's Ghetto: History Unfolds, Suspense Ignites, Secrets Explode
Lincoln's Ghetto: The Core Premise
An unclaimed will from Abraham Lincoln grants one million acres of Illinois land to his descendants—on the condition that one fourth of the land (250,000 acres), be distributed as reparations to a selected African-American or Native American heir.
A sealed trust mechanism identifies Darnell Whitaker, a gifted Black teenager from Chicago’s South Side, as the rightful beneficiary.
But instead of honoring the mandate for the will publicly, a powerful Illinois attorney—Howard McDougle, a distant Lincoln relative and Darnell’s father’s former law professor—manipulates adoption laws to quietly absorb Darnell into the Lincoln bloodline.
The goal: keep the land in the family.
The problem: Interracial adoption is illegal in Illinois and Percy Whitaker, Darnell’s father, is brilliant, he knows the law and harbors a secret that could upend the entire process.
This becomes a generational war containing ancient dark secrets disguised as a legal dispute.
