UNA INGENIOSA HISTORIA DE ASESINATOS Y VENGANZA, CON UN DETECTIVE JUBILADO DE LA CIUDAD DE NUEVA YORK Y UN JOVEN CADETE LLAMADO EDGAR ALLAN POE.

En la Academia West Point en 1830, la calma de una tarde de octubre se rompe con el descubrimiento del cuerpo de un joven cadete colgando de una cuerda justo al lado del patio de armas. Un aparente suicidio no es inaudito en un régimen tan severo como el de West Point, pero a la mañana siguiente, sale a la luz un horror aún mayor. Alguien se coló en la habitación donde yacía el cuerpo y extrajo el corazón.

Sin respuestas y desesperada por evitar cualquier publicidad negativa, la Academia recurre a los servicios de un civil local, Augustus Landor, un ex detective de policía que adquirió cierto renombre durante sus años en la ciudad de Nueva York antes de retirarse a Hudson Highlands por motivos de salud. Ahora viudo e inquieto en su reclusión, Landor accede a hacerse cargo del caso. Mientras interroga a los conocidos del muerto, encuentra un ansioso asistente en un joven cadete intrigante y malhumorado con una inclinación por la bebida, dos volúmenes de poesía a su nombre y un pasado turbio que cambia de relato en relato. ¿El nombre del cadete? Edgar Allan Poe.

Impresionado con los astutos poderes de observación de Poe, Landor está convencido de que el poeta puede resultar útil, si puede mantenerse sobrio el tiempo suficiente para poner a prueba sus agudas habilidades de razonamiento. Trabajando en estrecho contacto, los dos hombres, separados generacionalmente pero con la misma inteligencia, desarrollan una relación sorprendentemente profunda a medida que su investigación los lleva a un mundo oculto de sociedades secretas, sacrificios rituales y más cuerpos. Pronto, sin embargo, los macabros asesinatos y los propios secretos enterrados de Landor amenazan con destrozar a los dos hombres y su recién formada amistad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A Netflix film starring Christian Bale, Harry Melling, and Gillian Anderson

"Shockingly clever and devoutly unsentimental . . . reads like a lost classic. Bayard reinvigorates historical fiction." -- New York Times Book Review

"Seemlessly blends Poe into an engrossing whodunit worthy of its inspiration. " -- USA Today

An ingenious tale of murder and revenge at West Point, featuring a retired detective and a young cadet named Edgar Allan Poe--from the author of Courting Mr. Lincoln.

At West Point Academy in 1830, the calm of an October evening is shattered by the discovery of a young cadet's body swinging from a rope. The next morning, an even greater horror comes to light. Someone has removed the dead man's heart. Augustus Landor--who acquired some renown in his years as a New York City police detective--is called in to discreetly investigate. It's a baffling case Landor must pursue in secret, for the scandal could do irreparable damage to the fledgling institution. But he finds help from an unexpected ally--a moody, young cadet with a penchant for drink, two volumes of poetry to his name, and a murky past that changes from telling to telling. The strange and haunted Southern poet, for whom Landor develops a fatherly affection, is named Edgar Allan Poe.

NICE FABRIC, good sizing
Size: X-Large, Color: Black, White, Blue
These shirts are nice and long, which I appreciate being over 6' tall. I am always reluctant to buy any shirts that are not tall size, but these are long enough to solve that problem. The fabric is soft and comfortable... a good price for good shirts.
