The Story

Sherlock Holmes has retired to the country.  Doctor Watson visits him and they reminisce about their favourite case ...

 

The Case

A woman has died from 'unknown causes' in her bedroom.  All the doors and windows were locked from the inside.  There were no marks on her body, no signs of violence. Inspector Lestrade is at the scene of the crime, along with Doctor Watson, who believes that the woman's sister may be the next victim.  Watson brings the case to Sherlock Holmes, who suspects his arch-enemy Professor Moriarty is behind it.  The game is afoot!

 

The Legacy

'Sherlock Holmes' is a drama based on a Play that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote over 100 years ago (and also drawn from the official Canon of Sherlock Holmes).  Conan Doyle himself stated that the Play was his favourite of all the Sherlock Holmes stories.  This wonderful adventure, set in London in the late Victorian era, includes all the classic Conan Doyle characters - Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Watson, Professor Moriarty, Inspector Lestrade, Mrs Hudson and more.
