Synopsis "El Tiro por la Culata (in Spanish)"

Este volumen reúne las tres mejores historias de misterio de Wilkie Collins, uno de los creadores del género de la novela policíaca.
Maestro del relato corto, Wilkie Collins, en El tiro por la culata, nos introduce en una sugerente atmósfera, donde el suspense, aderezado con un refinado gusto por el detalle, el estudio minucioso de los personajes, la fina ironía y un acendrado y cáustico sentido del humor contribuyen a crear una compleja y sofisticada trama que entretiene, divierte y mantiene expectante al lector desde la primera a la última de sus líneas.

View Author's Page

(London 1824-1889) Playwright, novelist, and prolific short story writer. At 17, he started working at a tea trading company while writing Ioláni, or Tahiti as it was (Gothic no. 32), a work that was not published until over a century after his death. He studied Law and, although he never practiced, he did use his legal knowledge in many of his works, and critics consider him one of the fathers of the detective genre. In 1851, he met Charles Dickens, with whom he formed a deep friendship and published his main works in his weekly All the Year Around. After Dickens' death in 1870, his popularity waned. He suffered from rheumatic gout which eventually led to an opium addiction. His tombstone epitaph highlights him as the author of the novel The Woman in White.
