Clarke's fourth book is a humorous bibliomystery featuring Sam Pulsifer, an accidental teenaged arsonist who spent ten years in prison for burning down poet Emily Dickinson's house and unknowingly killing two people. Sam did his time and moved on, becoming a college graduate, husband and father and now watches helplessly as someone else is torching the houses of other famous New England authors. A bibliomystery that is also a seriously sad, funny, absurd and incredibly moving novel. Boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square; the dustjacket shows only a small crease in the upper corner of the front flap, else Fine.
