A review of Daniel Stashower's new book The Beautiful Cigar Girl - Mary Rogers, Edgar Allan Poe And the Invention of Murder from the New York Times. Sounds cool. Stashower is the author of a vastly entertaining series of mysteries starring
Harry Houdini, as well as biographies of Arthur Conan Doyle and Philo T. Farnsworth.
