«El faro de la última orilla» is the historical suspense novel by Stephen Marlowe, published by Seix Barral in paperback (395 pages, in Spanish).
The novel alternates two converging planes: nineteenth-century America, where Edgar Allan Poe recalls his youth, and a ghostly Paris where a spectral Poe lives with his detective, C. Auguste Dupin, who ends up pursuing him. It blends mystery, horror, sea and fantasy, reinventing Poe through the themes of his work.
Original title: «The Lighthouse at the End of the World». The work was originally published in 1995; this edition is from 1996.
For readers of historical and mystery fiction, and for those seeking a fictionalized approach to Edgar Allan Poe.
Stephen Marlowe was an American author of science fiction, mystery novels, and fictional autobiographies of Goya, Christopher Columbus, Miguel de Cervantes, and Edgar Allan Poe.

Thames, Jason Ridgway, Stephen Wilder, and Ellery Queen.
