<DIV><b>Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini team up to search for a literary-minded killer</b></div><BR><DIV>It is 1923 and a beautiful young woman has just been found outside a tenement, bones crushed, head ripped from her shoulders. A few stories above, her squalid apartment has been ransacked, and twenty-dollar gold pieces litter the floor. The window frame is smashed. She seems to have been hurled from the building by a beast of impossible strength, and the only witness claims to have seen a long-armed ape fleeing the scene. The police are baffled, but one reporter recognizes the author of the bloody crime: the long-dead Edgar Allan Poe.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>A psychopath is haunting New York City, imitating the murders that made Poe&rsquo;s stories so famous. To Harry Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the killing spree is of purely academic interest. But when Poe&rsquo;s ghost appears in Doyle&rsquo;s hotel room, the writer and the magician begin to suspect that the murders may hold a clue to understanding death itself.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography of William Hjortsberg including rare photos from the author&rsquo;s personal collection.</div>
