Un asesinato, un misterio y un matrimonio (t�tulo original en ingl�s: A Murder, a Mystery, and a Marriage) es un cuento escrito por Mark Twain en 1876. Fue publicado en una edici�n limitada, no autorizada, en 1945; la edici�n autorizada apareci� reci�n en 2001. Inicialmente, Twain propuso a William Dean Howells tentar a doce autores, incluyendo �l mismo, para que cada uno escribiera un cuento con la misma trama.1 El esquema fracas� y Twain fue el �nico en darle cuerpo a la trama. El manuscrito resultante qued� sin publicar hasta que fue comprado por Lew D. Feldman, quien consider� que la posesi�n del manuscrito original le daba el derecho a publicarlo. Para probar esta teor�a, en 1945, public� una edici�n limitada de 16 copias del relato. El caso lleg� hasta la Corte de Apelaciones de Estados Unidos donde se determin� que �la posesi�n de un manuscrito no incluye el derecho de publicaci�n�

The first scene is in the country, in Virginia; the time, 1880. There has been a wedding, between a handsome young man of slender means and a rich young girl-a case of love at first sight and a precipitate marriage; a marriage bitterly opposed by the girl's widowed father. Jacob Fuller, the bridegroom, is twenty-six years old, is of an old but unconsidered family which had by compulsion emigrated from Sedgemoor, and for King James's purse's profit, so everybody -some maliciously- the rest merely because they believed it. The bride is nineteen and beautiful. She is intense, high-strung, romantic, immeasurably proud of her Cavalier blood, and passionate in her love for her young husband. For its sake she braved her father's displeasure, endured his reproaches, listened with loyalty unshaken to his warning predictions, and went from his house without his blessing, proud and happy in the proofs she was thus giving of the quality of the affection which had made its home in her heart.

Mark Twain is at his irreverent best with this hilarious parody of the 19th-century mystery - two seemingly unrelated narratives are spliced together, the author interjects himself as a character, and Twain even provides literary criticism of himself midway in the text. A Double-Barreled Detective Story is a delightful spoof of the mystery genre, then in its infancy, introducing the reader to Sherlock Holmes, as he has never been seen before or since. Far from his usual elegant London haunts, the great detective is caught up in a melodramatic murder mystery of love, betrayal, and vengeance in a rough California mining town - and dealing with characters named Ferguson, Wells-Fargo, Ham Sandwich, and Fetlock Jones. -- Publisher.
