Dante Club
In 1865 Boston, a group of American poets, including Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Oliver Wendell Holmes, are translating Dante Alighieri's "The Inferno." When a series of gruesome murders begin, each mirroring a punishment from Dante's epic poem, the poets realize they must use their knowledge of the text to catch a killer. They form a secret "Dante Club" to solve the crimes before more lives are lost.
