Book excerpt: El Dr. James Mortimer le pide a Sherlock Holmes que investigue la muerte de su amigo, Sir Charles Baskerville. Sir Charles fue encontrado muerto en los terrenos de su propiedad Devonshire, Baskerville Hall, y ahora Mortimer teme por el sobrino de Sir Charles y su único heredero, Sir Henry Baskerville, que es el nuevo amo de Baskerville Hall. La muerte se atribuyó a un ataque al corazón, pero Mortimer es sospechoso, porque Sir Charles murió con una expresión de horror en su rostro, y Mortimer notó "las huellas de un perro gigantesco" cerca. La familia Baskerville supuestamente ha estado bajo una maldición desde la época de la Guerra Civil inglesa, cuando el antepasado Hugo Baskerville supuestamente ofreció su alma al diablo para que le ayudara a secuestrar a una mujer y al parecer fue asesinado por un perro espectral gigante. Sir Charles creyó en la maldición y aparentemente huyó de algo de miedo cuando murió.

Download or read book Queen of the South written by Arturo Pérez-Reverte and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2005-05-31 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international bestseller that inspired the must-watch drama on USA Network starring Alice Braga as Teresa Mendoza. From “master of the intellectual thriller” Arturo Pérez-Reverte, a remarkable tale, spanning decades and continents—from the dusty streets of Mexico to the sparkling waters off the coast of Morocco, to the Strait of Gibraltar and Spain—in a story encompassing sensuality and cruelty, love and betrayal, and life and death. Teresa Mendoza's boyfriend is a drug smuggler who the narcos of Sinaloa, Mexico, call "the king of the short runway," because he can get a plane full of coke off the ground in three hundred yards. But in a ruthless business, life can be short, and Teresa even has a special cell phone that Guero gave her along with a dark warning. If that phone rings, it means he's dead, and she'd better run, because they're coming for her next. Then the call comes. In order to survive, she will have to say goodbye to the old Teresa, an innocent girl who once entrusted her life to a pinche narco smuggler. She will have to find inside herself a woman who is tough enough to inhabit a world as ugly and dangerous as that of the narcos-a woman she never before knew existed. Indeed, the woman who emerges will surprise even those who know her legend, that of the Queen of the South.
