About this listen

The Adventure of the Engineer’s Thumb is one of the most chilling and fast-paced cases in the Sherlock Holmes canon. When a terrified engineer arrives at 221B Baker Street with a gruesome injury and an unbelievable story, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are drawn into a shadowy conspiracy involving counterfeiters, secret machinery, and a deadly trap hidden behind locked doors.

In this gripping short story by Arthur Conan Doyle, Holmes must unravel a mystery that blends industrial intrigue with cold-blooded calculation. From eerie country estates to claustrophobic mechanical chambers, the tension builds as the truth behind the missing thumb comes to light.

Perfect for fans of classic detective fiction, Victorian mysteries, and suspenseful short works, this timeless tale showcases Holmes at his sharpest—deductive, daring, and relentless in pursuit of justice.
