      Doce casos apasionantes transcurren desde el momento en que Holmes y Watson se conocen hasta el matrimonio del doctor, quien abandona al detective por la medicina. Las aventuras del dúo entre 1882 y 1890 presentan crímenes que, aunque a primera vista parecen sencillos, desafían todas las capacidades de Holmes. Algunos casos son faltas morales y otros delitos leves, lo que permite explorar la dimensión ética del detective. En uno de los relatos, Holmes se encuentra con Irene Adler, una mujer que lo marcará profundamente y con quien comparte una afinidad intelectual. Conan Doyle retrata a Holmes como un maestro del disfraz y un razonador excepcional, pero también muestra su lado caótico como consumidor de estupefacientes, capaz de ver intrigas donde Watson solo percibe banalidades. La edición de Alberto Laiseca recrea perfectamente los ambientes y respeta la ironía del detective, manteniendo el interés de estas inmortales aventuras. La obra es relevante hoy gracias a las recientes adaptaciones en series y películas. Laiseca, un apasionado de estas historias, ofrece una edición accesible que permite disfrutar de los casos de este personaje único. Las pistas, los sospechosos y las conversaciones entre Holmes y Watson se multiplican, llenas de reflexiones intrigantes.

    • A good love letter can speak across centuries, and reassure us that the agony and the ecstasy one might feel today have been shared by lovers long gone. In The Love That Dares, queer love speaks its name through a wonderful selection of surviving letters between lovers and friends, confidants and companions. Alongside the more famous names coexist beautifully written letters by lesser-known lovers. Together, they weave a narrative of queer love through the centuries, through the romantic, often funny, and always poignant words of those who lived it

      Lucifer Box - the gorgeous butterfly of King Bertie's reign, portraitist, dandy and terribly good secret agent - is feeling his age. Assigned to observe the activities of fascist leader Olympus Mons and his fanatical Amber Shirts in a snow-bound 1920s New York, Box finds himself framed for a vicious murder. Using all his native cunning, Box escapes aboard a vessel bound for England armed only with a Broadway midget's suitcase and a string of unanswered questions. What lies hidden in the bleak Norfolk convent of St Bede? What is 'the lamb' that Olympus Mons searches for in his bid for world domination? And what has all this to do with a medieval prayer intended to summon the Devil himself? From the glittering sophistication of Art Deco Manhattan to the eerie Norfolk coast and the snow-capped peaks of Switzerland The Devil in Amber takes us on a thrilling ride that pits Lucifer Box against the most lethal adversary of his career : the Prince of Darkness himself.
