The New York Times Bestseller Boston, 1865.
A series of murders, all of them inspired by scenes in Dante's Inferno.
Only an elite group of America's first Dante scholars--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes, James Russell Lowell, and J.
Fields--can solve the mystery.
With the police baffled, more lives endangered, and Dante's literary future at stake, the Dante Club must shed its sheltered literary existence and find the killer.
