DESCRIPTION

Winner of the 2006 Audie Award and the 2006 Communicator Award

Blackstone is pleased to present the first ever audio recordings of the only two Holmes plays written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This specially commissioned production by the Hollywood Theater of the Ear is a unique, must-have audio for all Sherlockians.

In Sherlock Holmes, Professor Moriarity, the Napoleon of crime, plots with would-be blackmailers to have Holmes killed. And the normally love-proof Holmes falls for an exceptional woman.

What is the secret of the shocking death of poor Enid’s sister, whose dying words were, "the speckled band”? Only Holmes can find the answer and save a helpless girl from certain death in The Speckled Band.

When Holmes retired, it created a financial crisis for his friend Watson, who owes money to mobsters who want either their cash or his blood. The surprising upshot is: Ghastly Double Murder in Famed Detective’s Flat, a one-act comedy by producer-director Yuri Rasovsky, here receiving its audiobook premiere.



REVIEWS

“Rasovsky combines a talented cast, spot-on sound effects and a rich musical score to achieve a stunning audio production. Every character, every cast member, every special effect, and every note of music merits applause.”—AudioFile

“Harkening back to the Golden Days of radio, these three audio presentations are outstanding. They are superbly produced, and the voice work by the performers is spot on....”—ForeWord magazine

“An excellent Holmes radio production...with excellent performances by Martin Jarvis, Kristoffer Tabori, and a full cast. The sound and music are top notch, and over all there is so much to like about this performance....[It] takes you back to the days of gaslight and great detective stories!”—Leisurebooks.com



SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE (1859-1930) was born of Irish parentage in Edinburgh, Scotland. He studied medicine at Edinburgh, but initial poverty as a young practitioner led him into authorship. His first book introduced that prototype of the modern detective in fiction, Sherlock Holmes. He also wrote historical romances and two essays in pseudo-scientific fantasy, The Lost World (1912) and The Poison Belt (1913).
