The Beautiful Cigar Girl / Mary Rogers, Edgar Allen, Poe and the Invention of Murder
"On July 28, 1841, the battered body of Mary Rogers, a twenty-year-old cigar girl who had disappeared three days earlier, was found floating in the Hudson.

Despite the media pressure, New York's unregulated, disjointed police force proved unable to mount an effective investigation, and the crime remained unsolved. One year later, a struggling writer named Edgar Allan Poe decided to take on the case-- and sent his fictional detective, C. Auguste Dupin, to solve the baffling murder of Mary Rogers in "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" ..."--Back cover.
