Che genere di implicazioni politiche nasconde, nell'estate del 1963, l'improvvisa recrudescenza della criminalità, con assalti alle banche e alle gioiellerie di tutta la Francia? Per quale motivo il colonnello Marc Rodin dell'Oas e un gruppo di suoi uomini, sempre tenuti sotto stretto controllo dai servizi segreti francesi, si sono rinchiusi in un albergo di Roma e sembrano intenzionati a non uscirne per nessuna ragione? Che rapporto c'è fra il loro esilio forzato e la scomparsa dei passaporti di due ignari turisti a Londra? Perchè a Parigi, ogni sera, uomini molto importanti si riuniscono in gran segreto intorno alla persona del ministro degli Interni? Perchè si arriva a coinvolgere il servizio di sicurezza britannico, il Foreign Office e il Primo Ministro? Quale grave pericolo incombe sulla Francia? La risposta a tutte queste domande emerge via via attraverso l'appassionante racconto della missione di un killer a pagamento conosciuto solo con il suo nome in codice, Sciacallo, incaricato di uccidere il presidente francese Charles de Gaulle. Un compito che, se portato a termine, potrebbe cambiare il corso della storia.

The African Queen is an old, dirty, ugly, unreliable steamboat.

But Rose Sayer & Charlie Allnutt do just that. The First World War has just begun, & Rose has a crazy plan.

Il dottor Jekyll, medico stimato e rispettabile, ultimamente ha un comportamento strano: rifugge la compagnia degli amici di sempre e frequenta un certo signor Hyde, individuo di estrema malvagità e aspetto ripugnante. Ma perché il medico fa testamento in suo favore? Chi è davvero il misterioso Hyde? Ambientata in una Londra allucinata e circospetta - in città è attivo Jack lo Squartatore - questa fantasia nera di Stevenson ha dato corpo e nome all'idea della doppia personalità. Lo sventurato Jekyll, che con le sue polveri e i suoi alambicchi cerca la possibilità di darsi al vizio senza sentire rimorso, è simbolo e vittima dell'ipocrisia sociale.

Horseracing is the sport of kings, perhaps because racehorses are very expensive animals. But when they win races, they can make a lot of money too - money for the owners, for the trainers, and for the people who put bets on them to win. Silver Blaze is a young horse, but already the winner of many races. One night he disappears from his stables, and someone kills his trainer. The police want the killer, and the owner wants his horse, but they can't find them. So what do they do? They write to 221B Baker Street, London, of course - to ask for the help of the great detective, Sherlock Holmes.
