When a well-respected businessman named Neville St. Clair disappears from a seedy opium den in London’s East End, Holmes and Watson are drawn into one of their strangest mysteries yet.

A series of macabre clues leads Holmes to believe that St. Clair was murdered, and suspicion falls upon a mysterious beggar with a horrifically scarred lip. As Holmes and Watson descend deeper and deeper into London’s seedy underbelly they discover a world in which nothing and no one are quite what they seem.

A Noiser production, written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Narrated by Hugh Bonneville. Produced by Katrina Hughes and Addison Nugent. Sound Design and Audio Editing by Thomas Pink. Compositions: Dorry Macaulay and Oliver Baines. Mix & Mastering: Cody Reynolds-Shaw. Series Consultant: Dan Smith.
