About the book
The death of Mary Rogers, a twenty-year-old cigar girl, was discovered floating in the Hudson on July 28, 1841, and New York's uncontrolled police force was unable to solve the murder. A year later, in "The Mystery of Marie Rogot," a struggling writer named Edgar Allan Poe decided to take up the case and dispatched his imaginary investigator, C. Auguste Dupin, to investigate the mysterious murder of Mary Rogers.
