This was a tremendous little novel set in 1830 in West Point academy where Edgar Allen Poe was a cadet. It seems another cadet was hung, his body stolen and his heart cut out. A retired police investigator gets involved and notices Poe and realizes that he could help in the solving of the crime. Very creepy read and very involving. Poe makes a wonderful fictional sleuth and hope the writer gives us more of this!
