Carmen Posadas se embarca con Do?a Emilia Pardo Baz?n en una aventura detectivesca.


En abril de 1912, la adinerada viuda de Pe?asco tuvo un mal presentimiento mientras almorzaba en su palacete de Madrid. Algo les hab?a pasado a su ?nico hijo y su nuera, a quienes en ese momento cre?a en Par?s, disfrutando de su luna de miel. La dama no se equivocaba: a pesar de las advertencias que les hab?a hecho, los reci?n casados se hab?an embarcado en el que se cre?a el barco m?s seguro del mundo y sin duda era el m?s lujoso: El Titanic. Pocos d?as despu?s las funestas nuevas llegaron a la mansi?n de la viuda: su hijo hab?a perecido y su nuera estaba sana y salva, pero rota de dolor en Nueva York.


Se pone en marcha as? una intriga al m?s puro estilo Carmen Posadas, ambientada en el Madrid de principios de siglo y entre cuyo elenco destacan Emilia Pardo Baz?n y uno de sus personajes de ficci?n?, el dandy reconvertido en detective Ignacio Selva.


A?os despu?s del hundimiento del Titanic, entra en contacto con Selva una dama adinerada de Avil?s con una noticia ins?lita: su hermano, un indiano millonario que hab?a sido dado por muerto en el naufragio, aparece en su mansi?n de La Habana para susto primero y alegr?a despu?s de su viuda. Tras la sorpresa inicial, se despierta la sospecha en la familia. Ha vuelto ese hombre de entre los muertos o no es m?s que un impostor?


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


Carmen Posadas Embarks on a Detective Adventure with Do?a Emilia Pardo Baz?n


In April 1912, the wealthy widow of Pe?asco had a bad feeling while having lunch at her mansion in Madrid. She sensed something had happened to her only son and daughter-in-law, whom she believed were in Paris enjoying their honeymoon. The lady was not mistaken: despite her warnings, the newlyweds had boarded what was considered the safest and undoubtedly the most luxurious ship in the world: The Titanic. A few days later, the tragic news reached the widow's mansion: her son had perished, and her daughter-in-law was safe but heartbroken in New York.


Thus begins an intrigue in true Carmen Posadas style, set in early 20th-century Madrid, featuring Emilia Pardo Baz?n and one of her (fictional?) characters, the dandy-turned-detective Ignacio Selva.


Years after the Titanic sank, a wealthy lady from Avil?s contacts Selva with astonishing news: her brother, a millionaire who was presumed dead in the shipwreck, has appeared at his mansion in Havana, first shocking and then delighting his widow. After the initial surprise, suspicion arises within the family. Has this man returned from the dead, or is he an impostor?
