Aburrido del verano londinense y de la monotonía de su trabajo en el Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, Carruthers acepta la invitación de su amigo Davies para participar en un crucero por el Báltico. Pero pronto se da cuenta de que el curioso viaje no va a ser de placer. El Dulcibella resulta no ser un yate, sino un bote destartalado, y conforme navegan por las traicioneras aguas y arenas movedizas, Carruthers se da cuenta de que sus conocimientos de alemán pueden tener una posibilidad insospechada... Es el comienzo de una aventura tan peligrosa como emocionante y plagada de desafíos. Y poco a poco Carruthers se contagia del entusiasmo y la templanza de su amigo, para descubrir en su propio interior nuevas fuerzas y un, hasta entonces desconocido, sentido moral. "El enigma de las arenas" ha pasado a la historia de la literatura como la primera muestra de la novela de espionaje. La presentación de la invasión de Gran Bretaña por parte de los alemanes, que más tarde se confirmaría en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y la advertencia acerca de las carencias de las defensas británicas, hizo que la novela gozara de un rotundo y continuado éxito. La traducción de la presente edición ha sido revisada por el traductor. "La primera y mejor novela de espías" The Times "Es El enigma de las arenas una formidable historia de mar, amor y guerra [...] En lo que a mí se refiere, esos dos jóvenes valerosos que navegan entre brumas hacia el peligro a bordo del Dulcibella son los compañeros de mar y aventura que, en caso de arriesgar así la vida elegiría tener"

Do you like Stieg Larsson's 'Millennium', James Bond and dystopian dramas like 'The Man in the High Castle'? The 1903 spy thriller 'The Riddle of the Sands' has elements of all three - and then some. Ken Follett, author of 'The Pillars of the Earth', called 'The Riddle of the Sands' the "first modern thriller". It centres on a suspected plot by the German Empire to invade Britain. The plot proved to be almost prophetic, bearing in mind what was to follow in the First World War and the Second World War in the coming decades. Minor civil servant Carruthers and his friend, Davies are the men investigating the plot while on a yachting holiday in the Baltic Sea. They are drawn into an intricate story that includes secret treasure, a British traitor and a race against time to save Britain from the grip of the Kaiser. In 1979 'The Riddle of the Sands' was made into a spy thriller movie, starring Michael York, Jenny Agutter and Simon MacCorkindale. Childers' technique of including a great deal of detail that could be verified was later used by authors including: John Buchan, who wrote 'The Thirty-Nine Steps'; 'James Bond' author Ian Fleming and John Le Carré. Erskine Childers (1870-1922) was an Anglo-Irish writer whose only true literary success came with 'The Riddle of the Sands'. Instead, he found infamy through his political activism. Having been a prospective Liberal parliamentary candidate, he left the party and took up the cause of Irish Republicanism. He smuggled guns into Ireland on his yacht, but was executed during the Irish Civil War. His son, Erskine Hamilton Childers, became the 4th president of Ireland.

Cada uno por su lado, Jalifa y Tara irán adentrándose en un laberinto de intriga, fanatismo, política y violencia, que finalmente los lleva al desierto y a la solución de uno de los grandes misterios del mundo antiguo.

A finales de los años ochenta, el cine de artes marciales está en su apogeo y los hermanos Chan, Charlie (el experto en artes marciales y acrobacias) y Liu (el maestro de las técnicas mortales), son las estrellas más aclamadas del género. Mientras filman su última película juntos, titulada «La Leyenda de las Siete Espadas», una serie de sucesos extraños comienzan a ocurrir. El guión de la película, que contiene la leyenda de las siete espadas místicas, desaparece misteriosamente del estudio de cine. Al mismo tiempo, un coleccionista de artes marciales sufre un asalto mortal y una de sus espadas es lo único que desaparece. El caso recae en manos del inspector James Flynn, y acude a los hermanos Chan, viejos conocidos de aventuras pasadas, pues tiene en su poder un vídeo VHS con una confesión que dejará claro que no se trata de un simple robo de piezas de colección. Si lo que Flynn sospecha es cierto, puede que se encuentren ante un caso relacionado con una vieja leyenda relacionada con lo sobrenatural. Como él mismo describe, están ante uno de «esos» casos.
