The next morning, an even more terrifying fact comes to light: someone cut the heart out of the corpse. Augustus Landor, a retired detective from New York, is called in to conduct a discreet investigation. A scandal could irreparably damage the Academy's reputation, so the case must be kept secret.

Landor finds an unexpected ally in a young, emotional cadet with a penchant for alcohol, who has published two volumes of poetry.
