| Plot Summary of The Poet |
|---|
"Jack McEvoy writes the murder column for a Denver newspaper. When his twin brother, a police officer, commits suicide, apparently despondent over his inability to solve a murder, McEvoy investigates his death as a means of coping with his grief. What McEvoy uncovers leads him on a nationwide hunt with the FBI, gives him the story of a lifetime and the truth about his brother's death."
Maureen Collier, Resident Scholar
