Synopsis The discovery of a bricked-up skeleton in a partially demolished brownstone is a scenario straight out of Edgar Allan Poe. What makes the find more amazing is the fact that the building is actually one of Poe's former residences. Manhattan sex crimes prosecutor Alexandra Cooper pursues the connections from the skeleton to the 19th-century writer, and to the resurgence of a long-dormant perpetrator, the Silk Stocking Rapist, who has now begun murdering his victims. This is the seventh novel in a series.
