Elizabeth Doyle y el misterio de los inhumanos

Desde hace más de 100 años se conoce la existencia de “Monstruos” al rededor del mundo. Pese a suponer un problema, las personas aprendieron a vivir con ello y adaptarse con el paso del tiempo. Sin embargo, tras un misterioso atentado a nivel global se esparció un virus que dotaba de genes inhumanos a sus portadores, volviéndolos agresivos y regresando a sus instintos más primitivos. Con el tiempo se descubrió que dichos genes eran derivados de aquellos “monstruos” que habitaban el planeta. Ya han pasado 20 años desde aquel incidente y la humanidad tomó medidas contra aquellos denominados “inhumanos”, capturándolos o en el peor de los casos erradicándolos. Pese a suponer que todo está bajo control, en una de las ciudades del sur, un grupo de inhumanos logró escapar de una de las bases de confinamiento. Al poco tiempo apareció un inhumano apodado “Whisper”, que fue visto en varias ocasiones luchando contra otros inhumanos fuera de control. Este vigilante llamó la atención de una joven estudiante llamada Elizabeth, una autoproclamada detective aficionada al estudio de inhumanos. Tras descubrir la identidad de Whisper, deciden unirse para juntos resolver el misterio que aborda a la primera aparición de los inhumanos hace 20 años, convencida que este suceso tiene relación con la desaparición repentina de su padre hace 8 años, sin saber que al adentrarse en aquel misterio acabarían envueltos en algo mucho más grande y peligroso.

The adventure of the Creeping Man. A case of Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional private detective created by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Referring to himself as a "consulting detective" in the stories, Holmes is known for his proficiency with observation, forensic science, and logical reasoning that borders on the fantastic, which he employs when investigating cases for a wide variety of clients, including Scotland Yard. First appearing in print in 1887's A Study in Scarlet, the character's popularity became widespread with the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine, beginning with "A Scandal in Bohemia" in 1891; additional tales appeared from then until 1927, eventually totaling four novels and 56 short stories. All but one are set in the Victorian or Edwardian eras, between about 1880 and 1914. Most are narrated by the character of Holmes's friend and biographer Dr. Watson, who usually accompanies Holmes during his investigations and often shares quarters with him at the address of 221B Baker Street, London, where many of the stories begin. Though not the first fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes is arguably the best known, with Guinness World Records listing him as the "most portrayed movie character" in history. Holmes's popularity and fame are such that many have believed him to be not a fictional character but a real individual; numerous literary and fan societies have been founded that pretend to operate on this principle. Widely considered a British cultural icon, the character and stories have had a profound and lasting effect on mystery writing and popular culture as a whole, with the original tales as well as thousands written by authors other than Conan Doyle being adapted into stage and radio plays, television, films, video games, and other media for over one hundred years. This is one of the cases of Sherlock Holmes. Giancarlo Rossini Real ePublisher
