Sobre este artículo
NY: Harcourt Brace, 1997. First American edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First printing of American edition with ABCDE on copyright page. Bibliomystery by Spanish author involves manuscript pages from The Three Musketeers and a 15th century book of black magic. Fiction but a fascinating look at the antiquarian book trade in Europe and the hunt for rare books. Few creases on cloth at bottom of spine.
Sinopsis
A provocative literary thriller that playfully pays tribute to classic tales of mystery and adventure Lucas Corso is a book detective, a middle-aged mercenary hired to hunt down rare editions for wealthy and unscrupulous clients. When a well-known bibliophile is found dead, leaving behind part of the original manuscript of Alexandre Dumas's The Three Musketeers , Corso is brought in to authenticate the fragment. He is soon drawn into a swirling plot involving devil worship, occult practices, and swashbuckling derring-do among a cast of characters bearing a suspicious resemblance to those of Dumas's masterpiece. Aided by a mysterious beauty named for a Conan Doyle heroine, Corso travels from Madrid to Toledo to Paris on the killer's trail in this twisty intellectual romp through the book world.
