The Pale Blue Eye (2022)

When a West Point cadet is found hanged with his heart removed, the school reaches out to Mr. Landor, a detective who's been isolated since his wife died and his daughter "ran off." With the help of cadet Edgar Allan Poe, Landor works the case even as another victim is discovered.
