Book Details
First Sentence
"Sherlock Holmes langte die Flasche von der Ecke des Kaminsimses herunter und nahm seine Spritze aus dem fein gearbeiteten Saffian-Etui."
Table of Contents
Edition Notes
Vier Jahre nach dem rätselhaften Verschwinden ihres Vaters hat Mary Morstan anonym ein Geschenk erhalten: eine sehr große, prächtige Perle. Dies hat sich Jahr für Jahr wiederholt. Doch nun ist die Aufforderung an sie ergangen, sich noch am selben Abend mit dem unbekannten Spender vor dem Lyceum Theatre zu treffen. Holmes und Watson willigen ein, Miss Morstan zum geheimnisvollen Rendezvous zu begleiten. Und damit beginnt die Suche nach dem unermeßlichen, doch todbringenden Agra-Schatz, die mit einer nächtlichen Verfolgungsjagd auf der Themse ihren Höhepunkt erreicht.
»Die Feuerbüchsen röhrten, und die mächtige Maschinerie hämmerte und stampfte wie ein großes metallenes Herz. Der scharfe, steile Bug schnitt durch das ruhige Wasser und ließ zwei Wellen rechts und links von uns wegfluten. Mit jedem Stoß der Maschine zuckte und bebte das Boot wie ein lebender Organismus.«
