Book Synopsis



Carmen Posadas se embarca con Doña Emilia Pardo Bazán en una aventura detectivesca.


En abril de 1912, la adinerada viuda de Peñasco tuvo un mal presentimiento mientras almorzaba en su palacete de Madrid. Algo les había pasado a su único hijo y su nuera, a quienes en ese momento creía en París, disfrutando de su luna de miel. La dama no se equivocaba: a pesar de las advertencias que les había hecho, los recién casados se habían embarcado en el que se creía el barco más seguro del mundo y sin duda era el más lujoso: El Titanic. Pocos días después las funestas nuevas llegaron a la mansión de la viuda: su hijo había perecido y su nuera estaba sana y salva, pero rota de dolor en Nueva York.


Se pone en marcha así una intriga al más puro estilo Carmen Posadas, ambientada en el Madrid de principios de siglo y entre cuyo elenco destacan Emilia Pardo Bazán y uno de sus personajes ¿de ficción?, el dandy reconvertido en detective Ignacio Selva.


Años después del hundimiento del Titanic, entra en contacto con Selva una dama adinerada de Avilés con una noticia insólita: su hermano, un indiano millonario que había sido dado por muerto en el naufragio, aparece en su mansión de La Habana para susto primero y alegría después 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 más que un impostor?


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


Carmen Posadas Embarks on a Detective Adventure with Doña Emilia Pardo Bazán


In April 1912, the wealthy widow of Peñasco 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 Bazán and one of her (fictional?) characters, the dandy-turned-detective Ignacio Selva.


Years after the Titanic sank, a wealthy lady from Avilés 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?
