The Resident Patient

"The Resident Patient" draws readers into a web of deception when Dr. Percy Trevelyan brings Sherlock Holmes a disturbing case: his mysterious financier, Mr. Blessington, is paralysed by terror after strangers with a faked catalepsy scheme infiltrate his private rooms. Holmes senses Blessington is hiding a shameful secret—but before the truth can be coaxed out, the man is found hanged. What the police call suicide, Holmes reads as cold-blooded, premeditated murder, and the clues burned into four cigar ends tell the whole story.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
