E. Phillips Oppenheim took a foray into the world of science fiction for this 1910 novel ‘The Black Box’. With elements of the ridiculous and sublime, we follow extraordinary detective Sanford Quest, who appears to have been loosely modelled on Sherlock Holmes. With his otherworldly skills, Quest finds himself on an international criminal hunt, with plenty of fun along the way. Zdroj anotace: Web obalkyknih.cz
