Baltimore, 1849. The body of Edgar Allan Poe has been buried in an unmarked grave. Everyone seems to accept the conclusion that Poe was a second-rate writer who met a disgraceful end -- except for a young Baltimore lawyer named Quentin Clark, an ardent admirer who puts his own career and reputation at risk in a crusade to salvage Poe's. As Quentin explores the puzzling circumstances and unanswered questions of Poe's demise, he realizes that he must find the one person who can help: the real-life model for Poe's brilliant fictional detective character, C. Augustine Dupin, the hero of ingenious tales of crime and detection. Soon Quentin finds himself enmeshed in sinister machinations involving international political agents and the lost secrets of Poe's final hours, and must himself turn master investigator to escape Poe's grisly fate. Drawing on original, groundbreaking research, the bestselling author of "The Dante Club" has once again crossed literary history with sublime craftsmanship and devious twists to create a beautifully detailed, ingeniously plotted tale of suspense.Product IdentifiersPublisherPocket BooksISBN-100743552652ISBN-139780743552653eCRATER Product ID (ePID)48651598Product Key FeaturesPublication Year2006LanguageEnglishDimensionsWeight6.2 OzWidth5.7in.Height1.1in.Length5.2in.Additional Product FeaturesFormatCompact DiscNumber of Volumes6 Vols.Dewey Edition22Dewey Decimal813.6Age LevelTradeCopyright Date2006AuthorMatthew PearlNumber of Pages192 PagesEdition DescriptionAbridged Edition
