Justo en la noche anterior a la gran niebla que cubrió Londres en 1897 cinco hombres se reúnen en The Grill, uno de los clubs más exclusivos de la capital. Entre todos intentan unir el rompecabezas que supone un misterioso asesinato doble y cuyos protagonistas serán un infatigable detective de Scotland Yard, una princesa rusa con un pasado escandaloso y un explorador que vuelve de entre los muertos. La intriga está servida. In a London club a group of gentlemen meet and one of them tells of his adventures in the fog. It begins with him saying "And yet Sherlock Holmes himself,could not decipher the mystery which to-night baffles the police of London." He tells how on leaving the house of a friend to return to his hotel,he became lost in one of the worst fogs that London had experienced for many years. In the course of feeling his way along,he comes to the open and lighted door of a large house which he enters to enquire the way. It is here that he finds the dead bodies of a man in evening dress and later of a beautiful woman. Thus begins this tale of murder and mystery dating from the 'Golden Age' of detective fiction. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The members of an exclusive London club endeavor to solve a baffling murder in this masterpiece from the golden age of detective fiction Since the time of Shakespeare, there has been no group in London more influential than the Grill Club. A secret society whose members are drawn from the rich and the poor, the Grill is blind to politics, ideology, and wealth. The only demands made of its members are secrecy and an open mind. On a foggy night in 1897, an American diplomat tells three other club members of a recent night when he was lost in the London fog and heard a distant scream. Following the sound, he entered a strange house, where he discovered a man lying dead on a princess's divan. The crime baffled Scotland Yard, but the men of the Grill Club will get to the bottom of it--no matter how long it takes. This ebook features a new introduction by Otto Penzler and has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
