De l'Écosse à Waterloo, Jock raconte sa vie et comment le hasard et aussi la soif de grandeur de sa cousine le jetteront dans les derniers soubresauts de l'Empire.

Questo romanzo dell'autore della più celebre serie di romanzi di Sherlock Holmes fu pubblicato nel 1896, mentre l'autore era ancora impegnato a scrivere le serie di Holmes. Il titolo italiano (quello orgiale è”Rodney Stone”, dal nome del protagonista) allude a un mistero “gotico”, ma è in realtà un po' fuorviante perchè la storia del fantasma di Cliffe Royal, castello situato tra Brighton e Londra, non è altro che una cornice per trasportare il lettore in un momento storico accuratamente descritto, in cui la flotta inglese, comandata da Nelson, si trovava a combattere il grande nemico Bonaparte.

Certo siamo lontani dal fascino londinese delle storie di Sherlock Holmes, ma la ricostruzione storica e le avventure a ripetizione fanno di questo un lavoro interessante e facilmente fruibile.

European tourists travel languidly along the Nile River to Abousir, at the southern frontier of Egypt, aboard “a turtle-bottomed, round-bowed stern-wheeler,” the Korosko. But Dervish warriors threaten danger and then attack and kidnap the tourists.
