De: C. Thorne

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

During an unseasonably warm September, an army captain known to Watson from his own service in Afghanistan, comes to Baker Street telling of being stalked by an assassin from the bizarre cult of “the Demon of the Mountain,” a member of a tribe of utter primitives who held this officer captive through two years of war, inflicting onto him both torments and puzzlingly extravagant honours, until the day this man was able to carry out his improbable escape, and make his way back down the unholy mountain, and return to his comrades in arms. Now back in England after so long a time away, this man who has endured much in service to Queen and Country, feels besieged by a foe from the mystical East, who stalks him from the shadows of night, even in London, seeking to instill terror, and ultimately take his life. Can Sherlock Holmes save this longsuffering hero from the malice brought by the faceless agent of the diabolical who pursues him? The Demon of the Mountain is the thirty-third volume in author C. Thorne’s ongoing The Continuing Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes!
