The Adventure Of The Engineer’s Thumb

"The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb" is a Sherlock Holmes short story in which young hydraulic engineer Victor Hatherley arrives at Dr. Watson's surgery at dawn, his thumb hacked off and his story barely believable. Hired by the mysterious Colonel Lysander Stark to inspect a remote hydraulic press in the dead of night, Hatherley discovers that the machine conceals a far deadlier secret than fuller's earth — and nearly pays for his curiosity with his life. Holmes must work fast before the criminals vanish entirely.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
