"And I prayed that I would find a way to tell my most honorable friend, the Chevalier C. Auguste Dupin, the truth about how I had finally been murdered and by whom."--EAP
Summer, 1849. Edgar Allan Poe has come to Paris to help his friend C. Auguste Dupin hunt down the criminal who brought the Dupin family to ruin, but the prefect of police instead engages the sleuthing duo to recover a letter stolen from an infamous Parisian salonniere.
Is the thief one of the French literary greats who attend her salons or might it be Dupin's own enemy, who is scheming to become the Emperor of France? Poe and Dupin are quickly embroiled in a deadly cat and mouse chase through the notorious streets of the le de la Cit and into the treacherous tunnels of the city's necropolis. Poe discovers he has enemies of his own in Paris--and that few who dare to venture into the Empire of the Dead ever return from the darkness.
