Fields - are finishing America's first translation of Dante's The Divine Comedy and preparing to unveil Dante's visions to the New World. However, there are those at Harvard who want Dante's writings kept off of American bookshelves. Then a serial killer terrorizes the city and only the Dante Club members realize the murders are based on descriptions from Dante's Inferno. The members must solve the mystery of the killings in order to keep their secret safe.
The Poe Shadow [MYS PEA, CD] - The body of Edgar Allan Poe is buried in an unmarked grave in Baltimore, 1849. Everyone seems to accept that Poe was a second-rate writer whose disgraceful end came as a result of his drinking. However, young lawyer Quentin Clark believes in Poe's talent and puts his own reputation on the line in a passionate crusade to save Poe's. When his own investigation into Poe's death stalls, he realizes he must turn to the real life model for Poe's famous character C. Auguste Dupin.
