Summary |
"Kauhun laakso 2: Salaseuralaiset" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to revolve around a character named Mc Murdo, an Irishman who arrives in the shadowy town of Vermissa, where a secretive brotherhood, referred to as the "Scowrers," exerts a menacing influence. Mc Murdo's journey reveals a world of intrigue and danger, aligning him with the labor union and drawing him into a web of violence and loyalty. The opening of the novel introduces the bleak and foreboding landscape of 1875 Vermissa, a coal-mining town where Mc Murdo arrives. He encounters various characters, including fellow workers and union members, hinting at an undercurrent of violence associated with the labor movements and the Scowrers. Mc Murdo's charismatic yet complex personality is deeply examined as he navigates his new environment, making connections and facing his own troubled past. As he contemplates his place in this new world, the story sets up a narrative filled with tension, potential romance, and the looming threat of violence from both the Scowrers and the authorities.
