Edgar Allan Poe is an American boy in England, a child standing on the edge of mysteries. In 1819, two Americans arrive in London. Soon afterward a bank collapses. A man is found horribly mutilated on a building site and an heiress flirts with her inferiors. All the while, Poe's young schoolmaster struggles to understand what is happening before he and his loved ones are destroyed. But the truth, like the youthful Poe himself, has its origins in the New World as well as the Old--in a bitter episode of corruption during the War of 1812. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith settings ranging from the coal-scented urban jungle of late Regency London to the stark winter landscapes of rural Gloucestershire, \u003ci\u003eAn Unpardonable Crime\u003c\/i\u003e is a multilayered literary murder mystery, a historical novel, and a love story. In addition to shedding fascinating light on Edgar Allan Poe, the book is a fast-paced suspenseful read, filled with shocking revelations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grand Central Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.66h x 6.40w x 1.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781401301026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/10\/2003 pg. 39\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2003 pg. 1421\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2004 pg. 835\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2004 pg. 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooksense '76 Mar\/Apr_2004\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2004 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/04\/2004 pg. 23\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/19\/2004 pg. 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndrew Taylor is the author of many crime and suspense novels.
