Une jeune femme sans défense face à un vieux misanthrope inquiétant, d’étranges animaux en liberté, et un Sherlock Holmes au meilleur de sa forme pour dénouer les fils d’une intrigue tirée au cordeau. Tels sont les ingrédients de cette histoire tout à fait surprenante racontée, comme il se doit, avec la plus grande minutie par le fidèle Dr Watson.

Au fil des pages, le lecteur sera conquis par la finesse d’analyse du célèbre détective – et par son humour aussi glacial que britannique ! D’une lecture agréable et aisée, » The Speckled Band » est le prototype parfait du roman policier traditionnel, un classique du genre, présenté ici en version originale. Il fournira aux élèves et à leur professeur matière à une étude passionnante de ce genre littéraire injustement considéré comme mineur.

Excerpts

On glancing over my notes of the seventy odd cases in which I have during the last eight years studied the methods of my friend Sherlock Holmes, I find many tragic, some comic, a large number merely strange, but none commonplace; for, working as he did rather for the love of his art than for the acquirement of wealth, he refused to associate himself with any investigation which did not tend towards the unusual, and even the fantastic.
