A killer inspired by a master of the
macabre. A detective tracking the tell-tales signs of his
crimes. A mystery that binds them in an ingenious nightmare.
The crime scene: a human skull impaled
on a tree, trailing a colored ribbon. The twist was the gold-painted
scarab. Special Agent Elizabeth Taylor Hewitt recognizes the
tableau—only the first in a series of slayings honoring
the tales of Edgar Allan Poe, and committed by a madman known
only as The Raven.
Anticipating The Raven’s next move, Hewitt
seeks the help of her former lover, an expert on Poe. It’s
a race against time as they struggle to understand the motives
of the killer—by delving into the twisted mind of literature’s
dark genius. But Hewitt herself becomes a pawn in The Raven’s
triumphant endgame: a magnificent and final homage...for Edgar.
Sheldon Rusch is an advertising
