UNA INGENIOSA HISTORIA DE ASESINATOS Y VENGANZA, CON UN DETECTIVE JUBILADO DE LA CIUDAD DE NUEVA YORK Y UN JOVEN CADETE LLAMADO EDGAR ALLAN POE.

En la Academia West Point en 1830, la calma de una tarde de octubre se rompe con el descubrimiento del cuerpo de un joven cadete colgando de una cuerda justo al lado del patio de armas. Un aparente suicidio no es inaudito en un régimen tan severo como el de West Point, pero a la mañana siguiente, sale a la luz un horror aún mayor. Alguien se coló en la habitación donde yacía el cuerpo y extrajo el corazón.

Sin respuestas y desesperada por evitar cualquier publicidad negativa, la Academia recurre a los servicios de un civil local, Augustus Landor, un ex detective de policía que adquirió cierto renombre durante sus años en la ciudad de Nueva York antes de retirarse a Hudson Highlands por motivos de salud. Ahora viudo e inquieto en su reclusión, Landor accede a hacerse cargo del caso. Mientras interroga a los conocidos del muerto, encuentra un ansioso asistente en un joven cadete intrigante y malhumorado con una inclinación por la bebida, dos volúmenes de poesía a su nombre y un pasado turbio que cambia de relato en relato. ¿El nombre del cadete? Edgar Allan Poe.

Impresionado con los astutos poderes de observación de Poe, Landor está convencido de que el poeta puede resultar útil, si puede mantenerse sobrio el tiempo suficiente para poner a prueba sus agudas habilidades de razonamiento. Trabajando en estrecho contacto, los dos hombres, separados generacionalmente pero con la misma inteligencia, desarrollan una relación sorprendentemente profunda a medida que su investigación los lleva a un mundo oculto de sociedades secretas, sacrificios rituales y más cuerpos. Pronto, sin embargo, los macabros asesinatos y los propios secretos enterrados de Landor amenazan con destrozar a los dos hombres y su recién formada amistad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A Netflix film starring Christian Bale, Harry Melling, and Gillian Anderson

"Shockingly clever and devoutly unsentimental . . . reads like a lost classic. Bayard reinvigorates historical fiction." -- New York Times Book Review

"Seemlessly blends Poe into an engrossing whodunit worthy of its inspiration. " -- USA Today

An ingenious tale of murder and revenge at West Point, featuring a retired detective and a young cadet named Edgar Allan Poe--from the author of Courting Mr. Lincoln.

At West Point Academy in 1830, the calm of an October evening is shattered by the discovery of a young cadet's body swinging from a rope. The next morning, an even greater horror comes to light. Someone has removed the dead man's heart. Augustus Landor--who acquired some renown in his years as a New York City police detective--is called in to discreetly investigate. It's a baffling case Landor must pursue in secret, for the scandal could do irreparable damage to the fledgling institution. But he finds help from an unexpected ally--a moody, young cadet with a penchant for drink, two volumes of poetry to his name, and a murky past that changes from telling to telling. The strange and haunted Southern poet, for whom Landor develops a fatherly affection, is named Edgar Allan Poe.

Just Buy It
This smells AMAZING! The body butter smells amazing too but the oil smells so much like the Vanilla Amber Sand+Fog oil perfume. I’m so glad I have all three and went ahead and picked up some Vanilla body wash. My kids said I smelled like a bakery all day. I couldn’t stop sniffing my arm and clothes the scent sticks and such a wonderful combination to my perfumes that has vanilla notes. Also, makes your skin feel awesome after a shower. It’s not so greasy after application and gives your skin a beautiful glow in the light. BUY IT!

Works great for myself & hub! I bought them mostly for him because his feet are wrecked, but it’s a 6 pack, so yay me. The cushiony heel was a bonus I didn’t expect, so nice + comfortable to sleep in- usually hate sleeping in socks but since your toes are free, these do not bug at all. Definitely get these

Go buy these heels socks they’re the best
Size: 6 Pairs - 6 Colors Assorted
I love that they have gel in the heels. I sleep in a pair and even wear a pair to work for extra protection for my heels. They are great to get your heels soft and prepared for the sandal wearing days of summer. They slide on my feet so comfortably because of the great stretch they have. I just love how they feel on my feet , walking in them is very easy and comfy and they don’t slide or is slippery. You can even wash them like regular socks and wear them over and over. I would recommend them to anyone who wants baby soft heels.

Love these
Size: 6 Pairs - 6 Colors Assorted
These are fantastic if you want a 'foot mask on the go'. They fit easy, the colors are great, and they work! I used them after putting on moisturizer and my heels were smooth and looked great in sandals after! No cracks or dry patches!
