Descripción de la novela, El transformista El sexto libro de la serie de detectives Gideon En esta apasionante novela "The Transformist" de Sidney St. James, incluso los objetos inanimados guardan secretos. El teléfono recuerda a quienes lo llamaron en el pasado, el pomo de la puerta conserva el toque de quienes lo giraron y el revólver dorado lleva los ecos de sus anteriores disparos y quienes lo empuñaron. Ahora, depende de Vincent Gideon desbloquear el lenguaje oculto de estos objetos, para escuchar sus revelaciones susurradas.Vincent Gideon, reconocido como el mejor detective del mundo después de su victoria sobre el famoso asesino en serie Rosenthall en "Rosenthall", el Libro 1 de la Serie de detectives de Gideon, se enfrenta a un nuevo desafío en el Libro 3, "Gideon Returns". El destino se entrelaza con el amor, poniendo a prueba el vínculo entre Gideon y Abigail Hoffman, una inmigrante alemana cuya vida ha salvado en tres ocasiones distintas. Pero es el destino quien finalmente los separa en la emocionante sexta entrega, "The Transformist".Como se muestra en la portada, Abigail Hoffmann rompe abruptamente su compromiso con el estimado detective, dejándolo desconcertado. En cambio, elige casarse con Wolfgang Klein, el próspero hombre de negocios de Portland, Oregón. La curiosidad y la sospecha surgen cuando se descubre una carta de amor rota dirigida a Gideon y se reconstruye de la basura de Klein, aparentemente pegada por las manos de la secretaria de Klein.Poco después, Abigail se enfrenta a Wolfgang y, momentos después, la encuentran sosteniendo un revólver humeante, parada sobre su cuerpo sin vida. Manchas de sangre marcan su pecho, con el pañuelo de Abigail agarrado en su mano. Desesperada, proclama su inocencia al hombre que realmente ama. Abrumado, Gideon busca la ayuda del experimentado detective de ochenta años, Jonathan Kowalski, para ayudar a desentrañar la verdad. Sin embargo, surge una revelación inesperada cuando el mayordomo de confianza de Gideon, con un pasado oculto como ladrón de cajas fuertes, se enreda en la investigación.La intriga se intensifica con la participación de un chino colosal, un suicidio del puente de la calle 51, pasadizos secretos y la desaparición de Ava O’Neill, una figura clave que podría resolver el enigma de "The Transformist". Con el tiempo corriendo antes del juicio de Abigail y la amenaza inminente de la silla eléctrica, los detectives corren contrarreloj. ¿Permitirá Bulldog Dennison, el fiscal de distrito, suficiente libertad de acción para probar la inocencia de Abigail?Mientras tanto, el inspector Joe Givens del Departamento de Policía de Portland se encuentra atrapado en medio de dos detectives experimentados que siguen la pista de un hábil asesino.Una vez más, Sidney St. James demuestra su notable talento para elaborar narraciones fascinantes, impulsando a los lectores a través de las páginas de la sexta entrega de la serie Gideon Detective. Con un ritmo vertiginoso, "The Transformist" ofrece una experiencia de lectura apasionante que deja a los lectores sin aliento.
