Muerte en el jardin de la luna / Death in the Moonlight Garden

Martin Solares

Este relato brillantemente construido seduce de modo particular en la medida en que revive el mundo fantasmagorico de dadaistas y surrealistas del Montparnasse de 1920. - Le monde

Para horror de los integrantes de la Brigada Nocturna, el mejor amigo y protector de Pierre Le Noir es asesinado con la misma tecnica que empleaba Jack el Destripador. Cuando Scotland Yard confirma que dicho asesino se encuentra en Francia y que su siguiente objetivo sera Pierre Le Noir, el joven agente debe salir de Paris mientras sus colegas controlan la situacion. Al tiempo que huye por su vida y aprende a dominar los poderes que le confiere el talisman heredado por su abuela, Le Noir vive una serie de episodios fantasticos cada vez mas extranos, que lo llevan de un hospital donde se curan las enfermedades sobrenaturales a un encuentro con Robert Desnos, el profeta del surrealismo, y de ahi a una isla misteriosa en el sur de Francia donde el monstruo que inspiro el Conde de Monte - Cristo podria ayudarlo a salir de sus problemas o acabar con el en siete mordidas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This brilliantly constructed tale seduces in a special way insofar as it revives the ghostly world of the Montparnasse Dadaists and Surrealists of 1920. - Le monde

To the horror of the members of the Night Brigade, Pierre Le Noir’s best friend and protector is killed with the same technique that Jack the Ripper used. When Scotland Yard confirms that the assassin is in France and that his next target will be Pierre Le Noir, the young agent must leave Paris while his colleagues handle the situation. While fleeing for his life and learning to master the powers given to him by his grandmother’s inherited talisman, Le Noir experiences a series of increasingly bizarre fantasy episodes, taking him from a hospital where supernatural illnesses are cured to a meeting with Robert Desnos, the prophet of surrealism, and from there to a mysterious island in the south of France where the monster that inspired the Count of Monte -Christo could help him solve all his problems or end his life in seven bites.
