Laura gets better and more intense. Edgar Allen Poe is featured in this Baltimore volume. It's a Charm City tradition: annual visit to EAP's gravesite...Tess and Crow watch this year and.......

I used to live in Baltimore so the many places mentioned in this book were familiar to me. I have also been facinated by the Poe Toaster legend and of course that was part of this story. This is another in the Tess Monaghan series and is one of her best I think.

"Every winter on the birthday of Edgar Allan Poe, a mysterious cloaked figure pays a visit to the renowned author's Baltimore gravesite bearing...three roses and a half bottle of cognac. P.I. Tess Monaghan is amonng the witnesses watching on a frigid January night - and she sees two caped visitors approaching Poe's resting place. One leaves his tribute and escapes. The other dies there, felled by an assassin's bullet...." (from back cover) Good mystery that sustains interest.
