Sherlock Holmes in The Adventure of the Russian Nihilists - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

When an Italian clockmaker brings three modified Russian pocket watches to 221B Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes recognizes the unmistakable signature of a bomb-maker. Hours later, an explosion rocks the Whitechapel docks—yet the empty warehouse destroyed seems a peculiar target for terrorists.

As more blasts shake London through the winter of 1897, a disturbing pattern emerges: the bombers warn their victims, weep as they flee, and take extraordinary care to avoid innocent casualties. They are revolutionaries with conscience, men torn between ideology and morality—and that makes them far more dangerous than common criminals.

In this tale of ticking clocks and tortured souls, Holmes confronts not just a criminal conspiracy but a profound moral question: When law fails, does violence become justified? And can even the great detective prevent tragedy when both sides believe righteousness is on their side?
