James Malcolm Rymer Reihenfolge der Bücher

Sweeney Todd is a barber who murders his customers and turns their remains into meat pies sold at the pie shop of Mrs. Lovett, his partner in crime. His barber shop is situated in Fleet Street, London, next to St. Dunstan's church, and is connected to Lovett's pie shop in nearby Bell Yard by means of an underground passage. Todd dispatches his victims by pulling a lever while they are in his barber chair, which makes them fall backward down a revolving trapdoor and generally causes them to break their necks or skulls on the cellar floor below. If the victims are still alive, he goes to the basement and "polishes them off" by slitting their throats with his straight razor.

Ein viktorianischer Klassiker - erfolgreich verfilmt mit Johnny Depp in der Hauptrolle. In seinem Londoner Geschäft in der Fleet Street empfängt der Barbier Sweeney Todd bevorzugt reiche Kunden. Als einer seiner Besucher, der eine wertvolle Perlenschnur mit sich führt, spurlos verschwindet, beginnen einige Leute zu argwöhnen, ob nicht vielleicht Todd damit zu tun haben könnte. Unabhängig voneinander beginnen Freunde des zuletzt Verschwundenen, die junge Johanna, für welche die Perlen bestimmt waren, und Tobias, der Lehrling Sweeney Todds, Nachforschungen anzustellen. Dennoch ist dem Barbier lange nichts nachzuweisen - er scheint entweder unschuldig, oder aber teuflisch raffiniert zu sein. Und kann es möglich sein, daß auch Mrs. Lovett, die Inhaberin des beliebten Pastetenladens in der Nähe, in die Sache verstrickt ist? Allmählich beginnt sich die Schlinge um den Hals des Barbiers enger zu ziehen, und die Suchenden kommen der Lösung des Geheimnisses näher ...
