Publisher's summary
Ford's Theatre, Washington. Friday, 14th April, 1865. The assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The place, the date and the event which made history. Or did it? Someone has been tampering with time, muddying the waters of history for his own purposes. Time itself is out of joint and the chief culprit is the enigmatic Doctor Knox. Somehow the Doctor and Evelyn must put history back on track before the future dissolves into chaos. But Knox, it turns out, may be the least of their worries...

References
- The Doctor calls Robert Knox a Time Meddler.

- Knox has a TARDIS with voice control.
- Evelyn implies that she and the Doctor are from the Pinkerton Agency.
Notes
- This would be the final appearance of Evelyn Smythe in the main range until BFA: A Death in the Family in October 2010.

- The Indo also appeared in BFA: Pier Pressure.
