On July 28, 1841, the battered body of a young woman was found floating in the Hudson River. The victim was Mary Rogers, a captivating twenty-year-old cigar salesgirl, who would inspire not just one of the great authors of a generation to write "The Mystery of Marie Roget" but also the inception of a whole style of literature - the crime novel. This book carefully retraces the Poe's steps as he sets out to investigate this crime and its famous re-creation with Detective Dupin in "The Mystery of Marie Roget". Stashower's tour takes the reader through the New York of the 1840s, providing a tale of intrigue, suspense and satisfaction that the great writer himself would have been proud to pen.

Daniel Stashower is the author of, amongst other titles, the highly acclaimed biography of Arthur Conan Doyle, Teller of Tales (ISBN 0140285741), which won the Edgar Award for Best Biographical Work, and a winner of the Raymond Chandler Fulbright Fellowship in Detective and Crime Fiction Writing.
