Guy believed he’d found the answer to overcoming that bleak dysfunctional fatalism they all felt. Bottling up emotions isn’t good, he reasoned. So, he would do what ordinary people did and he would set up an emotional support group. It was only when the newest member joined the group that things started to happen. The tables were turning and the assassins found themselves being targeted. This wasn’t good, but at least it gave an opportunity to get away from the hotel that served the worst tea imaginable.

Les aliments et tout le nécessaire pour vivre sont rationnés, le marché noir est florissant. À l'heure où le chacun pour soi l'emporte sur les rares élans de solidarités, les réfugiés et les sans-logis suite aux bombardements se retrouvent à aménager des trous de cave, à vivre dans la promiscuité des bunkers et des baraques.

"Upon hearing that I had to consciously resist the temptation that I had to peek through the drapes to see if I could catch a glimpse of that scoundrel." Double Trouble in York is the 19th in a string of new short stories set in the late 19th century, no fictional character is more renowned for his powers of thought and observation than Sherlock Holmes.

The body lying on its back before us was unquestionably that of the man who had attempted to kill Holmes and I with explosives at Glenbury Gardens. He wore the same dark clothing, although his hat was gone, and the hare lip was a livid scar on his pallid face. Strangely, it crossed my mind that what could be seen of his expression in death was softer than that he had worn in life.

Si tratta di un racconto lungo. Un facchino uccide e deruba un compagno di sbornie. Compie poi, sulla spinta del senso di colpa, una serie di errori che porteranno al suo smascheramento e al suo arresto. Si avverte l'influenza sulla narrazione di Zola e del naturalismo. Si avvertono, inoltre, echi kafkiani e dostoevskijani, ma sopratutto traspare la passione dell'autore per l'analisi psicologica.
