A series of brutal murders is taking place in post-Civil War Boston, leaving victims brutally in respective scenes from Dante's Inferno (The Divine Comedy). Not yet released in English, the only way anyone could know about the specifics of the murders is if they know Italian, are educated, OR have stolen copies of the forthcoming translation by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Joined by famed poet colleagues Oliver Wendell Holmes, George Washington Greene, and James Russell Lowell; and by renowned publisher J.T. Fields, Longfellow sets out to find the murderer and find out WHY people who do not seem to be sinners (at first sight) are totured to match one of the most controversial writings in history. Riveting, gory, and full of power. This book takes brains, patience, and a knowledge of several eras of U.S. and international literature.
