Nel Museo d'Arte regna il caos... riuscirà il detective Stanley a risolvere il caso? Un cane detective, un mistero da risolvere, un nemico che si nasconde nell'ombra, in una nuova, coloratissima serie a fumetti per i più piccoli. Il Detective Stanley sta per addentare finalmente la sua colazione, quando riceve un invito che non può rifiutare. Qualcuno ha fatto irruzione nel Museo d'Arte il giorno dell'inaugurazione della mostra su Pieeet Mondrian, e Stanley è stato chiamato per indagare. Ma, cosa molto insolita, non è stato rubato nulla! Stanley si ritrova presto in una situazione così ingarbugliata che neanche le sue abilità deduttive riescono a sciogliere. Riuscirà a tirarsi fuori da questo guaio e a risolvere il mistero del Museo d'Arte?

This is one of Chandler’s most famous crime novels featuring the detective Philip Marlowe, who’s about to give up on a completely routine case when he finds himself in the wrong place at the right time to get caught up in a murder that leads to a ring of jewel thieves, another murder, a fortune-teller, a couple more murders, and more corruption than your average graveyard.

"A young woman picks up a book left behind by a stranger. Inside it are his margin notes, which reveal a reader entranced by the story and by its mysterious author. She responds with notes of her own, leaving the book for the stranger, and so begins an unlikely conversation that plunges them both into the unknown. The book: Ship of Theseus, the final novel by a prolific but enigmatic writer named V.M. Straka, in which a man with no past is shanghaied onto a strange ship with a monstrous crew and launched onto a disorienting and perilous journey. The writer: Straka, the incendiary and secretive subject of one of the world's greatest mysteries, a revolutionary about whom the world knows nothing apart from the words he wrote and the rumors that swirl around him. The readers: Jennifer and Eric, a college senior and a disgraced grad student, both facing crucial decisions about who they are, who they might become, and how much they're willing to trust another person with their passions, hurts, and fears."--Slipcase.
