'And I prayed that I would find a way to tell my most honorable friend, the Chevalier C. Auguste Dupin, the truth about how I had finally been murdered, and by whom.'
Karen Lee Street, ktorá teraz žije v Austrálii, čerpá zo svojich raných rokov v strašidelnom pensylvánskom statku, odkiaľ pramení náznaky gotiky, ktoré presakujú do jej tvorby. Jej kriticky uznávané historické detektívky sledujú dobrodružstvá Edgara Allana Poea a C. Augusta Dupina pri riešení dávnych zločinov a záhad. Jej príbehy sú pretkané atmosférou, tajomstvom a občasnou zbraňou, ktorá sa objaví v najmenej očakávanú chvíľu.



'And I prayed that I would find a way to tell my most honorable friend, the Chevalier C. Auguste Dupin, the truth about how I had finally been murdered, and by whom.'
The narrative follows Edgar Allan Poe and his fictional detective C. Auguste Dupin as they delve into a complex mystery filled with themes of rivalry, lost love, and the mystical art of ornithomancy. Their investigation centers around a legendary jewel from Peru, intertwining elements of suspense and intrigue as they confront old adversaries.
What if the great detective C. Auguste Dupin was not Edgar Allan Poe's fictional creation, but his friend?
