The D'Arblay Mystery is the tenth volume in the Dr. Thorndyke series of Victorian-era forensic mysteries and one of the best. It has a solid and intricate plot, plenty of suspense, strong and sympathetic characters, and actual detection work--not always a necessary element for early mystery novels. Includes an introduction by Karl Wurf.
The eco-crash killed the oceans and dropped oxygen levels, leaving humans and rats as the only vertebrates in the wild. But people have adapted to eating crickets and breathing from a can, so life and crime continue. Ruthless planner Kalinda is tempted from her spider-hole in the desert to do the biggest bank job in history. If she's caught trying to rob Geld Island, they'll torture her to death on TV. But enough money to buy yourself a biodome in paradise is hard to resist. She assembles a team weird enough to try - four thieves, a reptile and a murderous AI drone. Can they infiltrate the richest place on the ruined earth and leave with their skins intact?Ver livro
