Cloomber Hallin salaisuus

by Arthur Conan Doyle

"Cloomber Hallin salaisuus" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a novel first published in 1889. A retired British general settles in remote Scotland, haunted by paranoid fears that intensify each October. His terror stems from a wartime massacre in Afghanistan forty years earlier, where he killed a Buddhist priest and slaughtered defenseless enemies. Now the priest's devoted students have finally tracked him down, prolonging his torment through psychic powers before exacting their long-delayed revenge at a bottomless pit in the marshes.
