The Darlington Substitution Scandal-Wealthy art collector Lord Hector Darlington's priceless painting, The Adoration, has disappeared. The facts Darlington ralates at 221-B surrounding the theft are the classic 'closed room' conundrum within his private viewing chamber. When Holmes and Watson arrive at Darlington's luxurious residence to gather facts and evidence for this new case, his lordship happily annonces that the painting has somehow suddenly reappeared in his spot behind its velvet curtain. The matter seems solved, but evidence Holmes finds when he examines the painting points to something insidious and criminal. Connecting this with the names upon calling cards Holmes has noted while waiting for their client to meet them upon their arrival, Holmes investigates later that day in disguise. The case takes a very dark turn involving organized crime figures from America, an rejected son, Lady Darlington, mounting gambling debts, stolen paintings, forgeries, and, at last, a tragic murder. Author David Stuart Davies unravels the story with uncanny skill equal to Doyle's, and all the characters portrayed by David lan Davies in this recording are pitch perfect. Sherlock Holmes and the Reichenbach Secret - It is the summer of 1916 and for two years Holmes is fading from this world after a long illness, Dr. Watson travels to the white seaside cottage in Sussex for what he knows will be their last meeting. That evening, after sharing their fond recollections of the many cases they have solved together, Sherlock Holmes unexpectedly tells Watson he is about to tell the truth of what really transpired at Reichenbach Falls. His narrative reveals that not Moriarty, but someone matching histhird party descriptions (they had never actually met before). perished in the dark torrents of Reichenbach. Holmes' escape to Florence, an encounter with an English woman who is not what she seems, a bizarre plot to lure Holmes to his death, a surprise visit from the real Moriarty and an unspoken agreement, fill the two friends' final, emotional hours together. Thus, according to David Stuart Davies touching and revelatory account, ends the final chpter in the tales of London's detective extraordinaire - Mr. Sherlock Holmes. Fittingly, David lan Davies; portayals of Holmes and Watson in this story strike just the right chord; Watson's moments of shock and disbelief and understanding and Holmes' courageous indiffernce to his ebbing condition in order to make this closing of the circle tolerable for his closest and dearest friend.… (meer)
