New York: Berkley Books, 2007. Softcover. Near Fine. First paperback edition. Pictorial wrappers. Just a bit of rubbing on the wraps, near fine.

Synopsis

On July 28, 1841, the body of Mary Rogers, a twenty-year-old cigar girl, was found floating in the Hudson-and New York's unregulated police force proved incapable of solving the crime. One year later, a struggling writer named Edgar Allan Poe decided to take on the case-and sent his fictional detective, C. Auguste Dupin, to solve the baffling murder of Mary Rogers in "The Mystery of Marie Rogt."
