Späte Rache
'Späte Rache' Summary
Der Roman beginnt mit Dr. Watsons Schilderung seiner Begegnung mit Sherlock Holmes in London. Gemeinsam nehmen sie sich eines komplizierten Mordfalls an, der zunächst mit einem seltsamen Schriftzug an der Wand des Opfers beginnt. Holmes' scharfes Auge und seine Logik führen ihn zu einem verdächtigen, einem ehemaligen Soldaten mit dem Namen Jefferson Hope. Doch der Fall nimmt eine unerwartete Wendung, als Holmes und Watson die Vergangenheit von Jefferson Hope erforschen und entdecken, dass er jahrelang eine Rache für die grausame Ermordung seiner Familie plant. Der zweite Teil des Romans entführt den Leser in die Vergangenheit, in eine Mormonengemeinde in Utah, wo Jefferson Hopes Familie einst lebte. Hier erfahren wir die tragische Geschichte der Familie Hope und die Ereignisse, die Jefferson Hope zum Mörder machten. Durch die Rückblenden und die detaillierten Beschreibungen der Taten des Mörders und der Opfer zeigt Conan Doyle die menschliche Natur und das tiefe Grauen, das Rachegefühle entfachen können. Im letzten Teil des Romans kehrt die Geschichte nach London zurück und endet mit der Auflösung des Falls und dem Schicksal von Jefferson Hope.Book Details
