The Sherlock Holmes radio plays of the 1940s were eagerly received by fans of the Great Detective everywhere. Starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, these taut, well-written broadcasts often dealt with questions only hinted at or left unanswered by the original Conan Doyle stories. Recently, an entire season of broadcasts was discovered, resulting in the 13 new mystery-adventures collected in this book. Join Holmes & Watson as they struggle with a headless monk on the mist-shrouded moors; as they discover how a priceless painting was stolen from a locked room; or as they try to help a terrified man who wakes up each morning with blood on his hands. Based on the Denis Green/Anthony Boucher radio plays, and written in book form by Ken Greenwald, these tales present Holmes and Watson at their absolute sleuthing best.
