Poe Code

Re: The Ghost and the Dead Man's Library by Alice Kimberly

Included with the old leather-bound volumes that Peter Chesley left to "Buy The Book" were very rare editions of the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe - in 13 different books. Supposedly these books have three secret riddles, or codes, randomly hidden in them. When solved the riddles will point the way to a treasure. Some believe the "Poe Code" exists and others don't.

So now the phone is ringing off the hook at Penelope's bookstore as the word gets out about these volumes. The first one sells for $8,000 and another buyer calls and says he wants to pay $5,000. This is just for one book! I wish I had some books like that!

Penelope thinks that Peter Chesley's death was related to this hidden treasure map buried inside the volumes. And Jack the ghost agrees with her.
