A Scandal in Bohemia (+ Audio CD) Doyle Arthur Conan Pearson Education

Trasladado a los inhospitos y desolados paramos de la region de Dartmoor, Holmes se enfrenta al reto de resolver un enigmatico crimen relacionado con el espectro de un perro diabolico y sobrenatural, instrumento de la maldicion que pesa sobre una familia. A caballo entre el relato de misterio y el cuento de terror," El sabueso de los Baskerville" (1902) supuso de hecho — si bien encubierto como recuerdo tardio de su inseparable doctor Watson — el regreso a la actividad de Sherlock Holmes, despues de que Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), cansado de la preponderancia que la figura del detective habia alcanzado en su obra, le hubiera hecho desaparecer algunos anos antes junto con su antagonista, el doctor Moriarty, en las cataratas de Reichenbach

Take the holiday of a lifetime with history's greatest mystery writers • It's the height of summer.

'I have heard, Mr. Holmes, that you can see deeply into the manifold wickedness of the human heart.' • Scandal, treachery and crime are rife in Old London Town. A king blackmailed by his mistress, dark dealings in Opium dens, stolen jewels, a missing bride - these are cases so fiendishly complex that only the great Sherlock Holmes would dare to investigate. For he, and he alone, has the extraordinary faculty of perception and almost unhuman energy which could solve them

‘It came with the wind through the silence of the night, a long, deep mutter, then a rising howl, and then the sad moan in which it died away. Again and again it sounded, the whole air throbbing with it, strident, wild, and menacing.’ • When the body of Sir Charles Baskerville is found on the misty and desolate Devon moors, Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson decide to investigate. The locals blame his death on the family curse, a legendary phantom hound which has supposedly haunted the Baskervilles for generations. Holmes’ detective skills are put to the test as he battles to discover the truth behind the fearsome legend and to solve one of the most macabre mysteries of his career • Originally serialised in the Strand Magazine between 1901 and 1902, Conan Doyle’s tale is the third novel to feature the famous duo, and remains one of the most popular

Une mère vampire s’attaquant à son propre enfant : qui voudrait croire à une telle horreur ? Tel est pourtant bien, en apparence, le drame que Sherlock Holmes et son inséparable Watson doivent tenter d’éclaircir. Le détective de Baker Street en fera surgir une vérité bien différente… et accablante • Cinq autres énigmes sont résolues ici, révélant la diversité d’inspiration de Conan Doyle : faux monnayage dans « L’aventure des trois Garrideb », scandale mondain des « Trois pignons », perversité amoureuse du baron Gruner d’« Un client célèbre », exotisme colonial du « Soldat blanchi », disparition dans « La pierre de Mazarin » • Avec la plus impeccable rigueur logique et un sens aigu de la mise en scène, Conan Doyle nous emmène en quelques pages aux frontières du fantastique ou de l’épouvante
