About this listen

Step into one of Sherlock Holmes’s most suspenseful cases in The Adventure of the Dying Detective, a gripping short story by Arthur Conan Doyle first published in 1913. When Dr. Watson is summoned urgently to Baker Street, he finds Holmes seemingly on his deathbed—ravaged by a mysterious and fatal tropical disease. Refusing medical treatment and behaving with alarming cruelty, Holmes insists instead on confronting Culverton Smith, a man linked to a suspicious and unresolved death.

Dark, tense, and brilliantly plotted, The Adventure of the Dying Detective is an essential Sherlock Holmes tale for fans of classic detective fiction, Victorian crime stories, and timeless literary mysteries.
