The Mystery of Cloomber (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162703015)

""The Mystery of Cloomber"" is a novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes. The story is set in the 19th century and follows the adventures of John Fothergill West, a young man who moves with his family to Cloomber Hall, a remote mansion in Scotland. As soon as they arrive, they notice that something strange is happening in the area. The locals are afraid of a mysterious force that seems to haunt the region, and strange things start to happen in the house. John's father, a retired colonel, is convinced that the force is related to a secret society of Indian rebels, and he starts to investigate. As the story unfolds, John and his father uncover a sinister plot that threatens the safety of the entire country. ""The Mystery of Cloomber"" is a thrilling novel that combines elements of mystery, adventure, and suspense. It is also a fascinating insight into the social and political climate of the Victorian era.At this moment he fell back upon his pillow as if he had been shot, while the same look of horror came over his face which I had observed when I first entered the room. At the same instant there came, apparently from the air immediately above his bed, a sharp, ringing, tinkling sound, which I can only compare with the noise made by a bicycle alarm, though it differed from this in having a distinctly throbbing character. I have never, before or since, heard any sound which could be confounded with it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
