Las violetas del Círculo Sherlock: Un detective inmortal. Un asesino inolvidable
by Mariano F. Urresti¿Qué sucedería si la ficción se hiciera realidad y el detective más famoso de la literatura fuera la clave para resolver un misterio? Ahora el enigma se plantea de verdad. Es el verano del 2009 cuando Sergio Olmos, escritor experto en Sherlock Holmes, se ve inmerso en un terrible misterio: un resucitado Jack el Destripador comienza a sembrar el terror entre las mujeres inmigrantes de su ciudad y lo elige a él como interlocutor. Previamente a cometer los crímenes, el asesino lo reta a través del envío de cinco hojas de violeta acompañadas de enigmáticos mensajes en relación a los textos de las novelas de Conan Doyle sobre el ingenioso detective Holmes. Sergio se reunirá con algunos antiguos amigos de la universidad con los que formaba el «Círculo Sherlock», un club dedicado exclusivamente a las historias del detective. Así, junto a los demás integrantes, irá descifrando los enigmas que el asesino le plantea. En estrecha colaboración con la policía y la prensa, y no sin contratiempos, Sergio intentará superar el reto de desenmascarar a este nuevo destripador, con resultados un tanto imprevistos y desconcertantes. Reseñas:«En Las violetas del Círculo Sherlock de Mariano F. Urresti subyacen temas profundos de la España actual. El trasfondo del racismo y la intolerancia hacia los inmigrantes, conflictos entre hermanos (Caín contra Abel), la escasez de medios de las instituciones sociales con los dichosos recortes presupuestarios y las siniestras pretensiones de algunos políticos más preocupados en obtener votos, que en ayudar y resolver los problemas de la gente».Melibro.com «El autor nos sumerge desde la primera página en un universo particular, plagado de infinidad de referencias, que encandilará a cualquier lector aficionado a la buena narrativa de misterio y que, sin duda alguna, ocupará un lugar destacado en la biblioteca de todo buen seguidor de las andanzas de Holmes y su inseparable Watson».Crónicas Literarias

Average Jones: Revised Edition Of Original Version (Library of Congress Crime Classics)
by Samuel Hopkins Adams"You have one rare faculty, Jones. You can, when you choose, sharpen the pencil of your mind to a very fine point. Specialize, my boy, specialize."Adrian Van Reypen Egerton Jones —"Average," to his friends—has spent the five years since graduation from college "specializing in life," indulging his wanderlust and living comfortably on twenty-five thousand a year. In order to inherit the millions that his late uncle has bequeathed, Average must spend five continuous years as a resident of New York City. Already bored, he is advised by his friends Waldemar and Bertram to take up a hobby. Waldemar, a newspaper owner, suggests that he become an "Ad-Visor"—someone who investigates classified ads on behalf of clients to root out swindlers.As his college professor had opined, Jones possesses a particular singularity of focus, which allows him to notice details that others miss. In the process of investigating unusual and downright bizarre advertisements, he stumbles into solving actual crimes—and he finds he was born to it. Why would someone advertise for a musician to play a B-flat trombone in a certain street at a specific time of day? Or offer an unusually large reward for information about the death of a bulldog? What can be the meaning of a message written entirely in pinpricks? Who is the man who speaks only in Latin? These and other tantalizing puzzles will leave the reader eager to spend more time with the decidedly not-Average Jones.
The Master of Mysteries: Being An Account Of The Problems Solved By Astro, Seer Of Secrets, And His Love Affair With Valeska Wynne, His Assistant (classic Reprint) (Library of Congress Crime Classics)
by Gelett Burgess"In this exemplary Library of Congress Crime Classics reissue...those seeking quality Sherlock Holmes pastiches in a humorous vein will be well rewarded."— Publishers Weekly, Starred ReviewPacked with two dozen stories, The Master of Mysteries offers a twentieth-century, mystical twist on the classic consulting detective genre made popular by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. With Astro, the self-proclaimed "seer of secrets," author Gelett Burgess gives us a detective just as observant and brilliant as Sherlock Holmes—but with feelings.Astro, the Seer of Secrets, and his lovely assistant, Valeska, sound more like a magic act than a private detection team. Astro hides his powers of observation and reasoning beneath a turban and a cape, pretending to read palms and consult crystals while in fact keenly observing details that most people—police included—miss. Valeska, his beautiful blonde protégé, assists Astro with his investigations, all the while honing her own skills.Called upon by believers and skeptics both, they adeptly recover what is missing—a rare Shakespeare folio, a missing husband, a kidnapped child—while also solving actual murders. But it is their burgeoning romance, and their mutual zeal to work pro bono where matters of the heart are at stake, that set this crime-solving duo apart.

The Thirty-Nine Steps: Large Print (Richard Hannay #1)

The Hound of the Baskervilles (The Art of the Novella)
by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle"It's an ugly business, Watson, an ugly dangerous business, and the more I see of it the less I like it."Sherlock Holmes had been dead for eight years--killed of in another story--when Arthur Conan Doyle decided to bring the famous detective back for a new story that he told friends was turning into "a real creeper". The tale about the chilling re-animation of a curse haunting the Baskerville family since Medieval times, wherein a supernatural beast stalks the gloomy moors, would be the most sensationally successful of all the Holmes stories, and a century later, it is still the most thrilling of them all. Full of moody atmospherics, suspicious characters, and dramatic discoveries, The Hound of the Baskervilles also shows off something often overlooked about Doyle: his wonderful prose. Presented here as it first appeared in The Strand magazine in 1901, this great mystery still strikes many as the best ever written. The Art of The Novella Series Too short to be a novel, too long to be a short story, the novella is generally unrecognized by academics and publishers. Nonetheless, it is a form beloved and practiced by literature's greatest writers. In the Art Of The Novella series, Melville House celebrates this renegade art form and its practitioners with titles that are, in many instances, presented in book form for the first time.
