Description

Con más de 2.000.000 de ejemplares vendidos y traducido en 40 países, El club Dante se ha convertido ya un clásico refrendado por el éxito entre el público y la crítica. En el convulso y puritano Boston de 1865 los miembros del club Dante -poetas y profesores de Harvard dirigidos por Henry Wadsworth- da los toques finales a la primera traducción norteamericana de La Divina Comedia a pesar de la oposición de la vieja guardia de la Universidad, que quiere mantener al Nuevo Mundo alejado de lo que considera supersticiones extranjeras. Al mismo tiempo se suceden una serie de brutales asesinatos basados en los tormentos descritos en el Infierno de Dante. La investigación oficial recae sobre Nicholas Ray, el primer y único policía negro del departamento de Boston. Los miembros del club junto con el policía marginado intentarán descifrar la clave que les lleve a identificar al asesino... aunque tal vez esté más cerca de lo que jamás hubieran pensado. Reseña: «Aúna entretenimiento y erudición a través de una historia de misterio y suspense.» El Mundo
