El bailarin de la muerte

Аннотация

A pesar de que un accidente le haya dejado paralítico, Lincoln Rhyme, el protagonista de El coleccionista de huesos, sigue siendo uno de los mejores criminalistas del mundo. Se le considera el único que podría frenar a un asesino muy particular, apodado El Bailarín. Es un matón a sueldo que cambia su aspecto con una rapidez asombrosa. Sólo dos de sus víctimas han podido dar una pista: lleva en un brazo un tatuaje de la Muerte bailando con una mujer delante de un féretro. Su arma más peligrosa es el conocimiento de la naturaleza humana, que maneja sin piedad. Rhyme y su ayudante, Amelia Sachs, se involucran en una partida estratégica contra «el bailarín de la muerte»

El cerebro de Rhyme y las piernas de Amelia se convierten en los únicos instrumentos para perseguir al asesino por todo Nueva York. Sólo tienen cuarenta y ocho horas antes de que El bailarín vuelva a matar.

In The Shadow Of The Master: Classic Tales by Edgar Allan Poe

This anthology was edited by Michael Connelly. His essay is called "Once Upon a Midnight Dreary."

A collection of stories by thriller master Edgar Allan Poe with essays by beloved and bestselling writers, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Poe's birth. Authors involved include Michael Connelly, Jeffery Deaver, Nelson DeMille, Tess Gerritsen, Sue Grafton, Stephen King, Lisa Scottoline, Laura Lippman, and twelve others.

***

Few have crafted stories as haunting as those by Edgar Allan Poe. Collected here to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Poe's birth are sixteen of his best tales accompanied by twenty essays from beloved authors, including T. Jefferson Parker, Lawrence Block, Sara Paretsky, and Joseph Wambaugh, among others, on how Poe has changed their life and work.

Michael Connelly recounts the inspiration he drew from Poe's poetry while researching one of his books. Stephen King reflects on Poe's insight into humanity's dark side in "The Genius of 'The Tell-Tale Heart.'" Jan Burke recalls her childhood terror during late-night reading sessions. Tess Gerritsen, Nelson DeMille, and others remember the classic B-movie adaptations of Poe's tales. And in "The Thief," Laurie R. King complains about how Poe stole all the good ideas… or maybe he just thought of them first.

Powerful and timeless, In the Shadow of the Master is a celebration of one of the greatest literary minds of all time.
