Philip Ardagh Libri

"L'Eco della Sciagura" è il nome di un giornale americano di cui la famiglia Dickens è proprietaria. Pare che stia fallendo (forse porta male: la moglie del direttore è finita sotto la pressa e da quel momento non si capisce quand'è di faccia e quando di profilo). Nessuno della famiglia Dickens è in grado di andare in America a controllare. La signora Dickens è un po' deteriorata dopo aver fatto inavvertitamente cadere una granata, suo marito per il mal di schiena sta disteso da mesi a pancia in su sopra un soppalco a dipingere sul soffitto del salone il Paradiso Terrestre, dove tutto finisce stranamente per assomigliare a una salsiccia. Ancor Più Matta Zia Maud vive all'interno della mucca in cartongesso Marjorie, e va bene. Non rimane che Eddie. Ma rimane? Con una nave piena di scarpe sinistre, l'unico evaso - il più terribile - ancora in libertà e una dama di compagnia assassina, siamo sicuri che 'rimane'? Dopo "Villa Sventura" e "Casi di Evasi" questo libro conclude la trilogia di Eddie Dickens.
