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 the Old-in a bitter episode of corruption during the War of 1812. With settings ranging from the coal-scented urban jungle of the late Regency London to stark winter landscape of rural Gloucestershire, AN UNPARDONABLE CRIME is a multilayered literary murder mystery, a historical novel, and a love story. In addition to shedding fascinating light on Edgar Allan Poe, this audiobook is a fast-paced suspenseful listen, filled with shocking revelations.
