When radio broadcasts of the Sherlock Holmes stories were first aired in the 1940s, the avid - and the occasional - Holmes readers were all thrilled. Although the early radio scripts were based on the Conan Doyle stories, they often dealt with questions unanswered by the original stories. Recently 221 "A" Baker Street Associates found an entire season of long-lost Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce radio broadcasts. Here were the answers to many of the questions only hinted at in the original stories: How and when did Sherlock Holmes meet Professor Moriarty? Why did Sherlock Holmes buy his Sussex bee farm? These puzzles and many others are solved in this collection of The Lost Adventures of Sherlock Holmes . Join Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson as they struggle with a headless monk on the mist-shrouded moors; try to discover how a priceless painting was stolen from a locked room; use a pocket watch to catch a killer; meet a terrified man who wakes up each morning with fresh blood on his hands. These thirteen new mystery adventures, based on the Denis Green and Anthony Boucher radio plays, written by Ken Greenwald, present the Great Detective and his loyal companion in the new adventures that will keep you guessing until the final solution.
