Audio Reviews:
"Listeners will quickly become absorbed in this suspenseful tale that pits
the Rue Morgue's best detective against a wily cast of ne'er-do-wells. Case's
characterizations are so convincing that it's hard to believe he made this recording
alone. Each role is masterfully incarnated, terrifyingly accurate. Hang on to
your blood pressure, it's quite a ride!"
-Childeren's Book Review
SYNOPSIS:
Eleven year old Edmund's mother has been kidnapped
and as he and his younger sister try and find her in Providence, RI in the mid-1800's,
his sister also disappears. Literally running into Edgar Allan Poe as he hurtles
down the street in shock, Edmund is soon partnered with the eccentric writer in
the search for his missing family. But is Poe a help or hindrance? Friend or foe?
This riveting mystery expertly twists and turns, and Avi paints a lush backdrop
of a murky seacoast port in another, darker era.
