El Problema Final / The Final Problem [Spanish] by Pérez-Reverte, Arturo

Description: LA NUEVA NOVELA DE ARTURO PEREZ-REVERTE Un crimen imposible. Un detective insospechado. No se trata de un desafio entre el asesino y el detective, sino de un duelo de inteligencia entre el autor y el lector. -Haria falta un policia-sugirio alguien-. Un detective.-Tenemos uno -dijo Foxa.-Todos siguieron la direccion de su mirada.-Eso es ridiculo -proteste-. ?Se han vuelto locos?-Usted fue Sherlock Holmes.-Nadie fue Sherlock Holmes. Ese detective no existio jamas. Es una invencion literaria.-Que usted encarno de manera admirable.-Pero fue en el cine. Nada tuvo que ver con la vida real. Solo soy un actor.Me contemplaban esperanzados, y lo cierto es que yo mismo empezaba a entrar en situacion, como si acabaran de encender los focos y oyese el suave rumor de una camara rodando. Aun asi decidi mantenerme silencioso, cruzados los dedos bajo el menton. No habia disfrutado tanto desde que rode El perro de Baskerville.Junio de 1960. Un temporal mantiene aisladas en la idilica isla de Utakos, frente a Corfu, a nueve personas alojadas en el pequeno hotel local. Nada hace presagiar lo que esta a punto de ocurrir: Edith Mander, una discreta turista inglesa, aparece muerta en el pabellon de la playa. Lo que parece un suicidio revela indicios imperceptibles para cualquiera salvo para Hopalong Basil, un actor en decadencia que en otro tiempo encarno en la pantalla al mas celebre detective de todos los tiempos. Nadie como el, acostumbrado a aplicar en el cine las habilidades deductivas de Sherlock Holmes, puede desentranar lo que de verdad esconde ese enigma clasico de habitacion cerrada. En una isla de la que nadie puede salir y a la que nadie puede llegar, inevitablemente todos se acabaran convirtiendo en sospechosos en una fascinante novela-problema donde la literatura policial se mezcla de modo asombroso con la vida.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONTHE NEW NOVEL BY ARTURO PEREZ-REVERTE An impossible crime. An unlikely detective. In addition to a race between killer and sleuth, The Final Problem is a duel of wits between authorand reader. "We need a policeman," someone suggested. "A detective." "We have one," said Foxa. Everyone followed the direction of his eyes. "That's ridiculous," I protested. "Have you lost your minds?" "You were Sherlock Holmes." "Nobody was Sherlock Holmes. He never existed. He's a literary invention." "One that you played masterfully." "But that was in the movies. It had nothing to do with real life. I'm just an actor." They looked at me hopefully, and the truth is that I found myself getting into character, as if the lights had been flipped on and you could hear the soft whir of the camera rolling. But even so, I decided to keep quiet, my fingers crossed under my chin. I hadn't had so much fun since the set of The Hound of the Baskervilles. June 1960. A storm strands nine travelers at an inn on the idyllic island of Utakos, across from Corfu. No one has any premonition of what is about to happen: Edith Mander, a quiet English tourist, turns up dead in the beach pavilion. It looks like a suicide, but the scene contains a series of clues too subtle for anyone but the likes of Hopalong Basil, a washed-up actor who once played the most famous detective of all time on the silver screen. Having learned Sherlock Holmes' deductive reasoning as part of the role, he is the only one capable of uncovering what really happened in this classic locked-room mystery. On an island cut off from the rest of the world by the storm, everyone is automatically a suspect in this fascinating novel-problem in which detective-fiction collides in surprising ways with real life.
