This customer seemed to enjoy a nonfiction book containing many elements of fast-paced thriller/mystery/adventure fiction.
I would recommend Destiny of the Republic, a tale of medicine, madness and the murder of a president. The title sums it up in this story of the life of James Garfield, tragically shot in the back in the fourth month of his presidency. A cast of bizarre characters, and even more bizarre scenarios of the shooting, the long aftermath and the wierd pseudo-scientific ideas of the day, include all the elements of genre fiction, but is heartbreakingly true.
