Synopsis "Una Habitación Olvidada / The Forgotten Room: A Novel (in Spanish)"

Un científico suicida, una habitación olvidada y un proyecto secreto: un nuevo reto para el enigmatólogo Jeremy Logan en esta cuarta entrega de la serie techno-thriller más inquietante. Jeremy Logan, especialista en fenómenos que carecen de explicación lógica, recibe una llamada urgente del director de Lux, uno de los grupos de investigación estadounidenses más antiguos y respetados. En la espectacular mansión costera sede de la organización acaba de tener lugar un trágico acontecimiento que requiere su presencia. Días antes Willard Strachey, un hombre equilibrado y amable, uno de los científicos más prestigiosos del centro, empezó a comportarse de un modo extraño y arremetió con violencia contra su ayudante. Sus compañeros lo redujeron y lo encerraron en la biblioteca. Minutos después encontraron a Strachey muerto, se había decapitado con el cristal de una de las ventanas. En los últimos meses el científico se había volcado en la restauración de un ala de la propiedad y fue allí donde Logan hizo un descubrimiento inesperado: una habitación cuya existencia ignoraba el resto del grupo y en la que aparentemente nadie ha entrado desde hace décadas. En la habitación, que no aparece en los planos de la casa, encuentra un misterioso objeto de madera, un intrigante artilugio relacionado con un proyecto secreto de gran magnitud. La naturaleza de dicho proyecto y lo que pasó en esa habitación obligarán a Logan a afrontar un peligro inesperado. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A Long-Lost Experiment Of Unguessable Intent. A Secret Room, Ingeniously Hidden Inside A Vast Seacoast Mansion. New York Times Bestselling Author Lincoln Child At His Riveting Best. Professor Jeremy Logan (the quirky and charismatic "enigmalogist" who specializes in solving problems of the strange or seemingly supernatural variety) receives an urgent summons from the director of Lux, one of the oldest and most respected think tanks in America. An unexplainable tragedy has taken place in the sprawling compound located on the coastline of Newport, Rhode Island. One of Lux's most distinguished doctors, overcome by erratic behavior, violently attacked his assistant before meeting with a gruesome self-inflicted end. Deeply shaken by the incident and the bizarre evidence left behind from the doctor's final project--as well as recent troubling behavior among several of the think tank's other scientists--Lux fears there is something more sinister occurring within its walls and looks to Jeremy Logan to investigate. As his work draws him ever deeper into harm's way, Logan soon unleashes a series of catastrophic events upon the rest of Lux . . .and himself. One of Lincoln Child's most thrilling novels to date, The Forgotten Room is replete with exhilarating action, veiled history, and mesmerizing science--making for a truly intelligent page-turner.
