Publisher's Summary

Originally named A Tangled Skein, this is the first Sherlock Holmes story. The real strength and the unique quality of the novel lies in the introduction of Holmes and Watson to each other - and those dark early scenes when a corpse is discovered in a derelict house in southeast London. The ultimate crusader against crime and criminals, Holmes' genius is revealed here for the very first time.

Overshadowed by Stephen Fry

Sir Derek Jacobi reads beautifully and does a surprisingly creditable American accent. Lovely to listen to, but somehow not quite as perfect as Stephen Fry's narration.
