“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.
From the critically acclaimed author of Mr. Timothy comes an ingenious
tale of murder and revenge, featuring a retired New York City detective
and a young cadet named Edgar Allan Poe.
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 just off
the parade grounds. An apparent suicide is not unheard of in a harsh

A rich tapestry of fine prose and intricately detailed characters, The
Pale Blue Eye transports readers into a labyrinth of the unknown that
