'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.'
La scrittura di Karen Lee Street è intrisa di un tocco gotico, derivante dai suoi primi anni trascorsi in una vecchia casa di campagna scricchiolante. I suoi misteri storici, acclamati dalla critica, vedono protagonisti gli iconici Edgar Allan Poe e C. Auguste Dupin mentre svelano perplessi crimini del passato. Street fonde magistralmente atmosfera e suspense, attirando i lettori in trame intricate che esplorano enigmi duraturi e ambientazioni storiche con un tocco stilistico unico.



'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.'
The narrative follows Edgar Allan Poe and his fictional detective C. Auguste Dupin as they delve into a complex mystery filled with themes of rivalry, lost love, and the mystical art of ornithomancy. Their investigation centers around a legendary jewel from Peru, intertwining elements of suspense and intrigue as they confront old adversaries.
What if the great detective C. Auguste Dupin was not Edgar Allan Poe's fictional creation, but his friend?
