The Poet book description
Death is reporter Jack McEvoy’s beat: his calling, his obsession. But this time, death brings McEvoy the story he never wanted to write – and the mystery he desperately needs to solve.
A serial killer of unprecedented savagery and cunning is at large. His targets: homicide cops, each haunted by a murder case he couldn’t crack.
The killer’s calling card: a quotation from the works of Edgar Allen Poe.
His latest victim is McEvoy’s own brother.
And his last… may be McEvoy himself.
