Stashower, Daniel : Edgar Allan Poe And The Murder Of Mary Rogers

  • description
  • additional information
Writing simultaneously as novelist, biographer, historian, and sleuth, Daniel Stashower unfolds a suspenseful detective story inside a detective story inside a detective story. --Kenneth Silverman

"The Beautiful Cigar Girl is a beautiful melding of literary research, biography and creativity. Poe's New York of the 1840's is brought to life and so is Mary Rogers and those whose lives were altered by her murder. Seldom has Poe himself emerged so sympathetically as the tortured, alcoholic, brilliant and enigmatic man he was. After reading this fascinating book, no one will be able to read The Mystery of Marie Roget again without acknowledging the haunting ghosts brought forth by Stashower." --Stuart M. Kaminsky, recipient of the Mystery Writers of America 2006 Grand Master Award, and author, most recently, of Terror Town.

"'Stashower makes the past so vivid you feel as if you must have been there and walked these streets yourself." --Anne Perry, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Assassin
