Synopsis

This collection gathers eight eclectic cases, each placing Holmes in a different kind of puzzle, from the uncanny to the overtly dangerous. Among the mysteries are a dishevelled man who seems to belong to another century, a death caused by the venomous bite of a rare Gila monster, and a bomb discovered beneath the floor of Parliament alongside a threat from Sudanese terrorists.

Elsewhere, Holmes confronts a dead body in an alleyway in a retrofuture of steam power, bodies that appear to leave the morgue of their own accord, and the disappearance of a young woman on the night of her arranged engagement to a German industrialist. The set also includes a derailed train, a dead professor, and the attempted robbery of a priceless relic. Suitable for listeners who enjoy Sherlock Holmes pastiche and short-form mysteries.
