Аннотация

Lincoln Rhyme, está en un centro universitario especializado en neurología a la espera de una operación que podría mejorar su estado. Cuando le piden que colabore con la policía de Tanners Corner, una pequeña ciudad de Carolina del Norte, en la búsqueda de una chica secuestrada, no sabe que al aceptar pondrá en peligro su vida y la de su colega Amelia Sachs.

El secuestrador es un chico conflictivo, cuyos padres han muerto en un misterioso accidente automovilístico. Es además muy aficionado a los insectos. Su forma de vida hace que se le culpe de todas las cosas extrañas que han ocurrido en la ciudad, incluidas algunas muertes. Desde un laboratorio improvisado, Lincoln, se enfrenta a la impaciencia de la justicia por resolver este nuevo y espeluznante caso.

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.
