Sherlock Holmes. La morte invisibile

[Sherlock’s] usual brilliance in hunting down the mastermind behind a nearly perfect murder plot.

Mondadori’s Review Of Five Miles of Country-In it’s Italian translation-La morte invisibile. Gretchen Altabef’s latest addition to the “Il Giallo Mondadori Sherlock” series.

“An overseas investigation is just what is needed to shake Sherlock Holmes from one of his recurring periods of dark prostration. The detective’s intervention from America is requested by none other than the great inventor Thomas Edison.

In the film studio he has set up in New Jersey, a famous music hall dancer has died inexplicably. As can be seen in the chilling images captured on film, the woman is intent on dancing in front of the camera for a short film, following the music played by a phonograph. Then, without any sign of discomfort, she suddenly puts her hands to her throat and collapses on the stage. The rescuers could do nothing, after which the coroner’s examination defined the causes of death as unknown.

The press has not missed the opportunity to violently attack Edison and his new infernal device, which is frightening for its almost supernatural ability to bring back to life those who are no longer there. It is therefore imperative that Holmes shed light on the affair as soon as possible. Finding his usual brilliance in hunting down the mastermind behind a nearly perfect murder plot.”
