The Crooked Man

"The Crooked Man" is a Sherlock Holmes mystery in which a celebrated army colonel is found dead in his locked study, his wife the prime suspect. Holmes draws Watson into the investigation, tracing a trail of footprints—human and animal—to a disfigured wanderer named Henry Wood, a man bound to the Barclays by a decades-old betrayal during the Indian Mutiny. As Holmes reconstructs a night of rage and recognition, the story builds around guilt that festers across thirty years and the devastating cost of one soldier's cowardice.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
