SHERLOCK HOLMES: Breve misterio de policial
by Pennie Mae CartawickAsesinato. “Asesinato”. El grito resonó por el pasillo, me sacudió de mi ligero sueño y me lanzó a la tenue visión de luces eléctricas. Alguien golpeaba la puerta y Watson se movió con dificultad para abrirla. Mis ojos estaban empañados, y seguía casi sin sensibilidad cuando Evelyn Reed apareció por la puerta. Sus manos estaban cubiertas de insoportable rojo, y las lágrimas corrían por su enrojecido rostro. “¡Ha habido un asesinato!”, repitió.
Sherlock Holmes: La raccolta completa Satyr Volume 1
by Pennie Mae CartawickDieci avvincenti racconti di Sherlock Holmes riuniti in un solo libro. VOLUME UNO RACCONTO N. 1 Il gioco del gatto con il topo L’interno dell’edificio era buio e nessuno di noi cercò una lampada o un interruttore. Udimmo un ticchettare di un orologio o qualcosa del genere. Il rumore di un rubinetto che perdeva da qualche parte risuonava come un martello su un’incudine. Si udiva il nostro respiro, ma mi sembrava che il cuore facesse più rumore. RACCONTO N. 2 Il mistero della sposa senza volto La sposa non aveva rose marce, ma il suo abito nuziale era lacero e bruciato. Le sue gambe nude, sottili come aghi, barcollavano scompostamente. Il velo pendeva sul viso. Avevo la pistola, ma non potevo sparare. Il suo viso! Anche nell’oscurità potevo vederne il disfacimento. RACCONTO N. 3 Il caso dello specchio crepato Disse di avere visto uno scheletro che indossava una giacca a coda di rondine. Ero molto preoccupato per la giovane donna scomparsa. Se era stata rapita dal fantasma dell’opera, vuoi essere umano o spirito, come se la sarebbe cavata se avesse rifiutato il suo ‘amore’? RACCONTO N. 4 Lo strano caso della donna sui binari Jane strillò sentendo questo ulteriore tradimento e si avventò su Henry. Cominciarono a lottare. Henry era ovviamente il più forte dei due, ma il dolore della donna era inarrestabile. Lui le strinse la gola e Jane gli artigliò il viso sino a quando cadde per terra. Abbassò lo sguardo sul corpo di Jane. RACCONTO N. 5 La maledizione di un nativo Adams aveva schiaffeggiato Kimilu così violentemente che era finito per terra. Il giovane solitamente umile si alzò e con rabbia rispose nella sua lingua nativa, lingua che Adams non comprendeva. Però Butler viveva in Africa da oltre vent’anni e aveva compreso ogni parola. Era a dir poco agghiacciante. RACCONTO N. 6 Il mistero della tomba avvelenata “Ah, buongiorno John! Se non ci affrettiamo, ci perderemo lo scoprimento del sarcofago”. Si alzò,
