A Poet's Death Foretold Loves and Lies in Brooklyn
Gilbert Tenney, a celebrated novelist, faces a tangle when his penniless friend poet Stephen McLane writes a prophetic verse about the doomed Cassandra. The poem, printed with Miss Alicia Holley’s name as recipient, triggers jealousy, romance, and a dramatic rescue, ending with McLane’s sudden betrothal to Cynthia Arnold after surviving the storm.
