New York, a bleak courtroom. Ichabod Crane insists upon an autopsy for a drowned man, only to be dismissed with contempt. That very day, he is ordered to Sleepy Hollow, where three headless bodies have been found. He takes lodging at the home of Baltus Van Tassel, hears whispers of the legend of the Headless Horseman, and there, in that house of shadow and candlelight, he meets Katrina Ann Van Tassel. As the investigation tightens its coil, a fragile, forbidden romance begins to unfold between them. you
