The Great Abraham Lincoln Pocket Watch Conspiracy is a historical fiction novel written by Jacopo della Quercia.[1] The plot follows President William Howard Taft, scientist Robert Todd Lincoln (Abraham Lincoln's son), Secret Service Chief John Wilkie, Captain (later Major) Archibald Butt, and others as they slowly unravel a worldwide conspiracy over a decade in the making.

The book, which was della Quercia's debut novel, was published in 2014 by St. Martin's Griffin, an imprint of St. Martin's Press. The author described the book as not fitting into a single distinct genre, but as an "equal parts cocktail" of adventure, historical fiction, science fiction, thriller and comedy.[2] In 2015, della Quercia released a spiritual sequel, License to Quill, of a similar nature that concerns the lives of Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare in Reformation-era Europe. The cover art was illustrated by pulp artist Michael Koelsch.[3]

The book contains many references to actual events; some, such as the sinking of the RMS Titanic, are important plot points, while others, such as the destruction of the airship Erbslöh, are passively mentioned as news stories or memories. The author also includes excerpts from real newspaper articles, which are used to provide exposition. Similarly, all of the main characters in the book were real, relevant figures in the early 20th century; the characters' profiles were fictionalized to fit in with the book's plot and atmosphere, but their names, positions, occupations and personalities are kept largely intact.[4]
