Vuelve el autor de LOS MEDICI. Después de El cementerio de Venecia, un nuevo misterio espera al artista que mejor supo captar la luz de la ciudad de los canales.Venecia, 1729. Una presencia oscura e inquietante se esconde en sus calles.Al amanecer de un torrido dia de verano, el cuerpo sin vida de un hombre aparece en el Puente de las Agujas. Una nota sujeta con un estilete clavado en el pecho del cadaver lleva inscrita una sola palabra: Canaletto. En el cuello, dos heridas demasiado irregulares para ser causadas por un arma blanca sugieren mas bien una mordedura de animal, pero ¿que animal podria dejar tales marcas? Mientras Canaletto intenta esclarecer el misterio, se declara un terrible incendio, en el que pierde la vida alguien muy cercano al pintor, y que parece llevar la firma inconfundible de una persona a quien Canaletto conoce bien y que parece haber regresado del pasado para derramar mas sangre en la ciudad.La critica ha dicho:Una habil mezcla de thriller historico, novela de aventuras, historia de espias y noir habitado por personajes historicos que fluyen en una trama intrigante y adictiva.Thrillernord Guerras, pasiones, conspiraciones, traiciones e intrigas: la receta de Strukul, entre historia y ficcion, se ha convertido en un exito de ventas.La Repubblica Grandes autores como Dumas y Balzac produjeron una obra tras otra a un ritmo vertiginoso, todas del mas alto nivel.

That, too, involved a monstrous murderer who slaughtered witnesses and vanished under the noses of his pursuers. Is there a connection with the Ripper cases which followed?Paul Halter, who has been fascinated by Jack the Ripper from a tender age, won the coveted French Prix du Roman dAventures in 1988 and the prestigious Japanese Hunkaku Mystery Award 2005 for Le Brouillard Rouge (The Crimson Fog).

As Rex digs deeper into the crime scene, the investigation begins to unravel, refusing the logic of a conventional murder inquiry.Clues fracture into symbols, witnesses contradict themselves, and the case starts to mirror Rexs own buried past. The search for the victims identity becomes inseparable from a more troubling question: who, beneath the certainty of his badge and rank, is Rex King himself?Shifting between Holborn Police Station, an abandoned village in rural 1980s France, and the violent clash between state power and counterculture at Stonehenges Battle of the Beanfield, The Fountain in the Forest reimagines the crime novel as something stranger and more daring. At once a gripping police procedural, an avant-garde experiment in language, and a philosophical meditation on liberty and identity, it is an iconoclastic novel of rare ambition.
