Author David Spitz presents his novel to Kaitlyn Weger
Sep 20, 2021

Olney native David Spitz recently donated a copy of his novel, Lincoln鈥檚 Agent: On the Trail of a Killer, to the Olney Central College Anderson Library.

Set amid the rising tensions of mid-18th century America, Spitz鈥檚 work of historical fiction follows the struggles of U.S. Marshal Arnett McCann who is called to Washington, D.C. as the nation teeters on the verge of civil war.

Area readers will find familiar locations and names, as portions of this action-packed thriller take place amid the rolling hills and bluffs of Southern Illinois. Throughout the novel, McCann tries to keep his life together as the world around him spins out of control and he sidesteps the U.S. Civil War.

鈥淭here is a lot happening at one time,鈥 Spitz says of the novel. 鈥淚t is complex with three or four issues going on at one time and more than one thing that leads to the book鈥檚 conclusion.鈥

Spitz began his writing career publishing song lyrics in 2016. He then chose to pursue a bachelor鈥檚 degree in creative writing. A university, where he applied, required a writing sample and Spitz鈥檚 submission became the basis for Lincoln鈥檚 Agent.

Spitz completed a certificate program at Wabash Valley College and attended classes at OCC.  He is currently working on a followup to his first novel.

Spitz鈥檚 book is available on Amazon at .
