LOS MEJORES MISTERIOS SOBRE EL MUNDO DE LOS LIBROS

UNA OBRA DE LA ETERNA CANDIDATA AL NOBEL DE LITERATURA

El ansia de un amante de los libros lo lleva al asesinato en este oscuro relato.

Identificado sólo por el alias Charles Brockden, el narrador de esta historia encuentra una librería que despierta su deseo al instante: siente con urgencia el deber de agregarla a su ya extensa colección. Pero el dueño de una tienda tan fina no se desprenderá fácilmente de su forma de vida.

Brockden elabora un plan para adquirirla sin que nadie sospeche jamás del crimen: un asesinato imposible de rastrear. Y sabe que tendrá éxito porque ya lo ha hecho antes.

BiblioMisterios es una serie de relatos sobre libros mortales escritos por los principales autores de misterio.
