In a Strange City

Laura Lippman

As a P.I., Tess Mogaghan has done some unusual things. But nothing tops this latest request from a very strange man. On Jan. 19th, Edgar Allan Poe's birthday, he wants her to stake out the writer's grave to catch the anonymous visitor who leaves three red roses and brandy in tribute each year. But to Tess' surprise, two visitors appear and a struggle soon ensues, leaving one dead as the other vanishes.
