Tiefes Geheimnis

tiefes Geheimnis

by Wilkie Collins

In einem englischen Herrenhaus ist ein tiefes Geheimnis verborgen. Die Gesellschafterin Sara Leeson, eine rätselhafte Figur, versteckt nach dem Tod ihrer Herrin einen Brief im unbewohnten Flügel des Anwesens und verschwindet spurlos. 15 Jahre später steht die Tochter der verstorbenen Herrin, frisch verheiratet, vor einem Rätsel. Als sie schwer erkrankt, wird eine Pflegerin aus der Nachbarschaft engagiert, die durch ihr seltsames Verhalten und ihre übermäßige Anteilnahme am Schicksal ihrer Patientin verdächtig wirkt. Die Geschichte verwebt die Vergangenheit mit der Gegenwart und enthüllt Stück für Stück die wahren Beweggründe der einzelnen Akteure und das Geheimnis des verborgenen Briefs.
