Summary:
"Death is reporter Jack McEvoy's beat : his calling, his obsession. But this time, death brings McEvoy the story he never wanted to write -- and the mystery he desperately needs to solve. A serial killer of unprecendented savagery and cunning is at large. His targets : homicide cops, each haunted by a murder case he couldn't crack. The killer's calling card : a quotation from the works of Edgar Allan Poe. His latest victim is McEvoy's own brother. And his last... may be McEvoy himself."--Back cover.
