Los crímenes de la calle Morgue/The murders in the Rue Morgue: Edición bilingüe/Bilingual edition (Biblioteca Clásicos bilingüe) (Volume 18) (Spanish Edition)

Se produce el b rbaro asesinato de dos mujeres, madre e hija, en un apartamento de una populosa calle de Par s. Las primeras pesquisas que lleva a cabo la brigada de investigaciones no dan resultado alguno, evidenci ndose la impotencia de la polic a para esclarecer los hechos. Finalmente se hace cargo del asunto un detective aficionado, M. Dupin, quien tras intensa y brillante investigaci n, ofrece una explicaci n extraordinaria. The story surrounds the baffling double murder of Madame L'Espanaye and her daughter in the Rue Morgue, a fictional street in Paris. Newspaper accounts of the murder reveal that the mother's throat is so badly cut that her head is barely attached and the daughter, after being strangled, has been stuffed into the chimney. The murder occurs in an inaccessible room on the fourth floor locked from the inside. Neighbors who hear the murder give contradictory accounts, each claiming that he heard the murderer speaking a different language. The speech was unclear, the witnesses say and they admit to not knowing the language they are claiming to have heard.
