Last summer the huge black raven found a shiny gold ring and gave it to his friend Rose, the homeless girl who would give him good things to eat. That ring helped Detective Susan Strauss solve a string of murders. But then Rose was murdered. And Edgar the Raven no longer had someone to feed him tasty tidbits in exchange for shiny things. He had found a new friend. And now that friend was in trouble. He had to find the beautiful detective with the raven black hair so she could help his new friend. Susan discovers that she is not only looking for Edgar's friend, but that she is investigating other sinister crimes as well. As she works she must also deal with the aftermath of Deacon's attack on her. That search leads her in a direction she never expected. Quoth the Raven: Find Lenore is the second in the Quoth the Raven detective series.
