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.

Wonderful outdoor fetch ball!
Theme: 2 Pack, Size: Medium
This medium sized Chuckit is perfect for my 21 lb dog. It's great for outdoor play. I needed to find an alternative to tennis balls because my pup tears up their outside material. With this ball she can easily play fetch and run around. It's easy for her to grab onto and does not impede her breathing. It's seems sturdy and quite flexible. The medium is perfect for her size.

Great Ball for training Labs
Theme: 2 Pack, Size: Medium
This is my 80lb Lab's favorite fetch toy. We workout for 45 min to 2 hr every night that's dry enough (in San Antonio it's standard conditions). When I first saw the ball I almost returned it thinking it'd tear apart very quickly. That proved to not be the case. I've used it nightly for the last 3 weeks or so without any signs of tearing. It has a very good glow for night play. Some may consider it small for a lab, but when playing very aggressive catch it's our ball of choice. We work on catching, chasing, tracking, reflexes.. this ball's perfect for that. The more solid, 3.5 in + balls are simply too much and I'm afraid they could hurt the dog during aggressive play.

Quality is Top notch and the dog Loves them.
Theme: 2 Pack, Size: Medium
Just like every other Chuckit! product I've purchased, the Air Glow Fetch Balls are of great quality and my German Wire Haired pointer loves them. He tends to not immediately bring balls back after retrieving them and prefers to aggressively gnaw them instead which is why I purchase Chuckit balls instead of normal tennis balls and all of them stand up to the abuse. I don't think he's ever chewed any of them apart and they are of high enough quality that we always end up losing or misplacing them before they are destroyed.
