The apparent suicide of his policeman brother sets Denver crime reporter Jack McEvoy on edge. Surprise at the circumstances of his brother's death prompts Jack to look into a whole series of police suicides and puts him on the trail of a cop killer whose victims are selected all too carefully. Not only that, but they all leave suicide notes drawn from the poems of writer Edgar Allan Poe in their wake. More frightening still the killer appears to know that Jack is getting nearer and nearer. An investigation that looks like being the story of a lifetime, might also be Jack's ticket to a lonely end. THE POET is the winner of the Anthony Awards Best Novel and the Dilys Prize Best book. It is the first novel in the Jack McEvoy series, which also includes THE SCARECROW and FAIR WARNING. Mint, unreadm first edition, first printing, in flawless, mylar-protected dust jacket.[Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] M99
