" Je suis Segalla, celui qui n'a jamais goûté la saveur de la mort. "" C'est à l'historienne Ann Dukthas, un beau jour de 1992, que le mystérieux Nicholas Segalla avait décidé de confier son terrible secret. Dans cette nouvelle aventure, il prend le risque de lever le voile sur une autre partie de son passé... Nous sommes en 1815, après la défaite de Napoléon à Waterloo, les Bourbons sont de retour sur le trône de France en la personne de Louis XVIII et l'heure est aux règlements de comptes. C'est dans cette atmosphère trouble que Nicholas Segalla, alors agent en mission pour le Premier ministre anglais, enquête sur la disparition du Dauphin, fils de Louis XVI et de Marie-Antoinette. Est-il mort en 1795 à la prison du Temple ou s'est-il évadé, comme beaucoup continuent à le croire ? Le mystérieux enquêteur remonte le fil de cette passionnante énigme, à la poursuite d'un des secrets les mieux gardés de notre Histoire. ., 0, 'My name is Sherlock Holmes. It is my business to know what other people don't know'. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes first introduced Arthur Conan Doyle's brilliant detective to the readers of The Strand Magazine. The runaway success of this series prompted a second set of stories, The Memoirs. In these twenty three tales, collected here in one volume, you have some of the best detective yarns ever penned. In his consulting room at 221B Baker Street, the master sleuth receives a stream of clients all presenting him with baffling and bizarre mysteries to unravel. There is, for example, the man who is frightened for his life because of the arrival of an envelope containing five orange pips; there is the terrified woman who is aware that her life is in danger and cannot explain the strange whistling sounds she hears in the night; and there is the riddle of the missing butler and the theft of an ancient treasure. In the last story, there is the climatic battle between Holmes and his arch enemy, 'the Napoleon of Crime' Professor Moriarty. Holmes, with trusty Watson by his side, is equal to these and the other challenges in this splendid collection. ., 0<
