Description
A chilling last testament sets the tone for this gripping historical mystery. In April 1831, Gus Landor, a retired police constable, is summoned to West Point to investigate a gruesome murder. A young cadet has been found hanged, his body stolen and his heart carved out before burial. Fearing scandal, the academy's top brass want Landor to solve the case discreetly. As Landor delves into the mystery, he uncovers dark secrets and finds unexpected assistance from a mischievous young cadet named Edgar Allan Poe. With drama and twists aplenty, this atmospheric tale keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Brilliantly plotted and absorbing, The Pale Blue Eye is a masterful blend of history and suspense. A shocking conclusion will leave you breathless, as Bayard's clever and unsentimental writing brings 19th-century America to life in vivid detail.
