      Gli Hatter di Washington Square non sono molto amati; sono "gente cattiva" mormora il vicinato, viziosi e malati, nessuno escluso: dall'eccentrica poetessa Barbara all'alcolizzato Conrad, al crudele Jackie... La più detestata è però Emily, ricchissima e potente matriarca, che guida con pugno di ferro le sorti della famiglia. Così quando la vecchia viene trovata assassinata, nessuno se ne dispiace troppo. Tranne, forse, Louise, la figlia disabile. Degli altri parenti, nessuno è esente da sospetti, ma alla fine tutti gli indizi sembrano convergere su York Hatter, il marito di Emily, da lei tiranneggiato e umiliato. Peccato che York sia morto: scomparso dal giorno di Natale, il suo cadavere è stato ripescato alcune settimane addietro nel porto di New York e tutti hanno pensato a un suicidio. L'ispettore Thumm non sa che pesci prendere e ancora una volta ricorre all'aiuto dell'amico Drury Lane, il celebre attore, che riuscirà a sciogliere la rete di inganni di una tragedia familiare degna dei drammi shakespeariani. Solo che questa volta Drury Lane non sta recitando su un palcoscenico...

      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 the story of a lifetime might also be Jack's ticket to a lonely end.
