The second historical thriller by the author of THE DANTE CLUB focuses on Quentin Clark, a young lawyer living in 1849 who, after reading about Poe’s less-than-ceremonious funeral, becomes obsessed with finding out how the great writer really died. His quest takes him to Paris, where he tracks down the man he thinks is the real-life basis for one of Poe’s fictional detectives, and enlists his help in finding out the truth.

It’s the story of a financial journalist who agrees to investigate a 40-year-old kidnapping in exchange for help with his legal woes. The journalist teams up with a rebellious but savvy young computer hacker, and together the unlikely duo unravel the horrifying, shocking truth at the heart of the case. A complex, intelligent work, Larson’s novel became so popular in Denmark that it outsold the Bible. Larsson, however, never got to witness the success of his books, for he died shortly after completing the series.
