The Mysterious Death of Mary Rogers
Edgar Allan Poe tries to salvage his career by solving the murder of a beautiful young woman in New York in the 1840s. Based on a real case that Poe wrote about, the script has a rich historical setting (similar to “Gangs of New York”) and features themes of sexual freedom, the perception of working women in society, the role of the press and the origins of investigative technique. Thrilling nonetheless. 130 pages.

The dilemma has echoes in the investigator’s past.
