Beschreibung

Collector's Edition Laminated Hardback with Jacket A cryptic warning arrives too late-by the time it's decoded, a man is already dead. Drawn into the eerie mystery at Birlstone Manor, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson uncover a tangled web of deception, double identities, and a past that refuses to stay buried. Their investigation pulls them across continents, from the misty English countryside to the ruthless grip of a secret brotherhood where silence is law and betrayal means death. As Holmes pieces together the truth, he realizes the greatest danger may not lie in what is hidden-but in what is about to be revealed. Blending fiction with real-world intrigue, The Valley of Fear captures the rising anxieties of its time, drawing inspiration from the violent history of secret societies like the Molly Maguires. Arthur Conan Doyle masterfully weaves a detective thriller with a chilling look at corruption, loyalty, and organized crime. The novel not only deepens Sherlock Holmes' legend but also reflects the growing fears of lawlessness in both Britain and America. With its gripping narrative and social commentary, it stands as a bridge between classic detective fiction and the darker, more complex crime novels that would follow.
