The Red-Headed League

A strange advertisement. A job too good to be true. And behind it all—something far more sinister. ✒️🧩

“The more bizarre a thing is, the less mysterious it proves to be.” — Sherlock Holmes

The Red-Headed League

When Jabez Wilson, a red-haired London pawnbroker, accepts an unusual and well-paid position with “The Red-Headed League,” he has no idea he’s been drawn into a far greater scheme. When the job abruptly ends without explanation, Holmes steps in—and quickly suspects there’s more to this league than meets the eye.

With wit, precision, and a touch of theatre, Holmes peels back the layers of an elaborate ruse. What begins as a curious oddity becomes a race to stop a crime in motion.

In The Red-Headed League, Holmes showcases how even the most outlandish mystery can have a clear and calculated motive. This episode is part of our immersive Sherlock Holmes Podcast Series—faithfully adapted and produced to capture the intensity and nuance of each case.

Written and created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
