Saviez-vous que la pantoufle persane dans laquelle Sherlock Holmes rangeait son tabac fut l'objet de la convoitise d'une fétichiste unijambiste ? Et que Sherlock Holmes et Watson avaient dû quitter un temps leur mythique logement de Baker Street à la demande de Mme Hudson ? Autre fait inconnu à ce jour et révélé par notre expert : Holmes a fait du trapèze dans un cirque pour combattre le " Houdou ". Vous saviez en revanche que le célèbre détective pratiquait le violon, mais n'imaginiez pas que la musique pouvait tuer.

Sherlock Holmes en toutes lettres

Ancient Lights

"The bestselling, National Book Award-finalist novel that inspired Charles Laughton's expressionist horror classic starring Robert Mitchum and Shelley Winters. Two young children, Pearl and John Harper, are being raised alone by their mother in Cresap's Landing, Ohio. Their father Ben has just been executed for killing two men in the course of an armed robbery. Ben never told anyone where he hid the ten thousand dollars he stole; not his widow Willa, not his lawyer, nor his cell-mate Henry "Preacher" Powell. But Preacher, with his long history of charming his way into widows' hearts and lives, has an inkling that Ben's money could be within his reach. As soon as he is free, Preacher makes his way up the river to visit the Harper family where he hopes a little child shall lead him to the fortune that he seeks. Foreword by JULIA KELLER"--
