لغز الشفرة القاتلة

Rate this book
مُخترعٌ مرموقٌ وعالِمٌ فذٌّ ينتحرُ ويتركُ رسالةً يعترفُ فيها بذلكَ ويُوصِي بثروتِه لابنِه. لكنَّ الرسالةَ كُتِبتْ بلغةٍ أدبيةٍ حالِمة، وبطريقةٍ مُربِكةٍ كأنها شَفْرةٌ غامضة، ما كانَ لرجلٍ عمليٍّ مباشِرٍ مثْلِه أنْ يَكتبَ رسالتَه بها. تلجأُ الآنسةُ «ديفن» ابنةُ العالِمِ بالتبنِّي إلى المحقِّقِ العبقريِّ الملقَّبِ بآلةِ التفكيرِ ليُساعِدَها في فكِّ طلاسمِ الرِّسالة، لكنَّ الابنَ يقعُ في حرَجٍ كبيرٍ عندما يَكتشفُ ما فعلَتْه، كما أنَّه حاوَلَ من قبلُ أنْ يتخلَّصَ مِنَ الرسالة. فتُرَى هل كانتْ له يدٌ في وفاةِ والِدِه بسببِ المالِ كما ألمحَتْ الآنسةُ «ديفن»، أمْ كانَ دافِعُه خوفَ العارِ الذي ربَّما يَلحقُ بسُمعةِ أبيه كما صرَّحَ هو بذلك لاحقًا، أمْ أنَّ الحقيقةَ أغربُ مِن كلِّ هذا؟ اقرأِ القصةَ لتتعرَّفَ على تفاصيل هذهِ القضيةِ المُثِيرة

In 1905, his Thinking Machine character first appeared in a serialized version of The Problem of Cell 13. In 1895, he married fellow writer Lily May Peel, with whom he had two children.
