"The Adventure of the Speckled Band" is the 8th of 12 stories collected in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. It was originally published in Strand Magazine in 1892. Doyle thought that this was his best Holmes story. In fact, he thought so much of it that he wrote and produced a play based on the story. The play, originally called "The Stonor Case," differed from the story in several details but was essentially the same.

Editorial Reviews

Arthur Conan Doyle named "The Red-Headed League" his second favorite Sherlock Holmes story. The tale first appeared in 1891 and was included in Doyle's debut collection about the Victorian detective. The premise is comical: a poor London pawnbroker appears at Holmes' Baker Street address to complain of being recruited by an odd newspaper advertisement exclusively seeking red-headed male applicants. But the mystery is a minor, albeit amusing, challenge to the famed consulting detective, who quickly traces the advertisement to a troupe of burglars.

Edward Raleigh, winner of AudioFile's Golden Voice Award, brings his usual range and ability to the performance. Of all the actors who have played Sherlock Holmes, Raleigh ranks among the most exceptional.

Publisher's Summary

An office filled with red-headed clerks is suddenly closed, and Holmes is asked to investigate a most unusual series of events.
