Summary

It seemed like just another burglary, a not unusual art theft from a villa in a luxury private estate in Marbella. It was a smoothly executed robbery by what appeared to be an international and highly professional gang. But what at first appeared to be a simple theft, by the next day was a robbery and two murders. The investigation begins in the prison of Alhaurín de la Torre and continues in Puerto Banús, where it follows the trail of a private yacht owned by a character who hides behind a diplomatic passport, although, in reality, he is an agent of his country's secret services, with dark and powerful connections in the highest echelons.
The resolution of this complex case involves the participation of the Spanish National Intelligence Services together with the crucial work of an agent infiltrated into the organisation responsible for investigating the criminal venture.

The resolution of this complex case involves the participation of the Spanish National Intelligence Services together with the crucial work of an agent infiltrated into the organisation responsible for investigating the criminal venture. If successful, the operation would have international, diplomatic and economic ramifications. The only solution is an extraordinary international collaboration to prevent the criminals achieving their objectives.
It is a story in which thieves, con men, spies, secret agents, bogus diplomats, corruption and treachery intermingle. A story in which the plot moves at a fast pace, with a totally unexpected ending.

    In Agatha Christie’s classic mystery 4:50 From Paddington, a woman in one train witnesses a murder occurring in another passing one…and only Miss Marple believes her story. 
    For an instant the two trains ran side by side. In that frozen moment, Elspeth McGillicuddy stared helplessly out of her carriage window as a man tightened his grip around a woman's throat. The body crumpled. Then the other train drew away. But who, apart from Mrs. McGillicuddy's friend Jane Marple, would take her story seriously? After all, there are no other witnesses, no suspects, and no case -- for there is no corpse, and no one is missing.  
    Miss Marple asks her highly efficient and intelligent young friend Lucy Eyelesbarrow to infiltrate the Crackenthorpe family, who seem to be at the heart of the mystery, and help unmask a murderer.

    When a young lady approaches Sherlock Holmes looking for help in finding out what happened to her father when he disappeared 10 years earlier, both Holmes and Watson are sent on a mission involving stolen treasure, service in colonial India, and a secret pact among four ex-convicts. 
     
    Born in 1859, Arthur Conan Doyle is the author most famous for creating the detective Sherlock Holmes and is renowned as the world's greatest crime fiction writer. Spending his childhood in Scotland, his first career choice was to be a doctor, and indeed he ended up with his own medical practice. It was during the failure of this first business venture that Doyle began writing to pass the time. With the creation of Sherlock Holmes, Doyle embarked on a series of crime stories that brought new levels of realism to a marginalized genre. He also became a real-life detective on occasion, personally investigating two crimes that eventually led to the release of the accused men. His Sherlock Holmes stories have found enduring popularity and have seen countless Television, Stage, and film adaptations over the course of the last century.
