Sherlock Holmes and the Five Orange Pips

from Tales of Suspense · host Random Acts

A frightened young man arrives at Baker Street carrying a strange and terrifying warning: five dried orange seeds sent anonymously through the mail. The same ominous message had previously been sent to his uncle and father—both of whom soon died under mysterious circumstances. Sensing a deadly pattern, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson investigate the history behind the threatening letters and the sinister initials “K.K.K.”As Holmes pieces together the clues, the trail leads across the Atlantic to a shadowy organization and a deadly conspiracy. Adapted from the classic story by Arthur Conan Doyle, “The Five Orange Pips” is one of the darkest Sherlock Holmes adventures, where a chilling warning arrives before tragedy strikes and the detective races against time to uncover the truth.
