<b>The New York Times Bestseller <br><br></b>Boston, 1865. A series of murders, all of them inspired by scenes in Dante's <b>Inferno</b>. Only an elite group of America's first Dante scholars - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes, James Russell Lowell, and J. T. Fields - can solve the mystery.
