The Mystery of Mary Rogers by Rick Geary 80 pp.
Another in the "Treasury of Victorian Murder" graphic novel series. This one involves the body of a young woman from New York whose body washes up on the beach across the river in Hoboken, N.J. The subsequent investigation into the death of the beautiful young tobacco store clerk yields lots of suspects but no perpetrator. Was she killed by a group of gang thugs, one of her suitors, her boss, or did she die as a result of a botched abortion? The mystery was never solved. Her death was the basis for Edgar Allen Poe's story "The Mystery of Mary Roget".
