Fantastic! Gus Ladnor is pulled from his retirement from being a New York City detective to help solve the murder of a cadet at 1830 West Point. To get closer to the closed community, Landor requests the aid of a cadet to serve as his spy in in the ranks and he is assigned none other than the young Edgar Allen Poe, who in turn spends equal time writing poetry, falling for the primary suspect's sister, and learning the art of deduction from Landor. As a second cadet is found, minus its heart, the commander of the academy grows impatient, and Landor is pressed to find the murderer. The ending of this book is quite phenomenal - I did not see it coming!
