The Return of Sherlock Holmes: Volume 1

'"Holmes!" I cried. "Is it really you? Can it indeed be that you are alive? Is it possible that you succeeded in climbing out of that awful abyss?'

Three years have passed since Sherlock Holmes’s apparently fatal encounter with his nemesis, Professor Moriarty. But after the seemingly motiveless killing of a high colonial official, Dr Watson meets a mysterious book collector who reveals the truth behind that final conflict at the Reichenbach Falls.

The world's greatest sleuth is back from the dead, and once more on the trail of London’s criminal underworld in new tales of mystery and deduction.

This 4-CD volume contains the first four tales from The Return of Sherlock Holmes: The Empty House, The Norwood Builder, The Dancing Men and The Solitary Cyclist. Enthralling, suspenseful and entertaining, this dramatic reading by one of film and television’s greatest Sherlock Holmes, Peter Cushing, is guaranteed to appeal to any fan of the great detective.

Originally recorded in 1971, Peter Cushing’s reading of The Return of Sherlock Holmes has never been released commercially before. This edition has been digitally re-mastered from the original recording, and includes new sleeve notes by Holmes expert David Stuart Davies.
