His Last Bow, Volume Two
Clive Merrison and Michael Williams star as Holmes and Watson in the fourth collection of stories from the unique fully dramatised BBC Radio 4 canon
The Dying Detective - Holmes is struck down by a rare tropical disease and death seems imminent. His only hope lies in a planter from Sumatra whose expert knowledge comes at a price.
The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax - Watson goes to Switzerland to find an aristocrat who has vanished, but the trail leads back to a funeral parlour in London.
The Devil's Foot - Watson enforces a relaxing holiday on Holmes to cure his work-related exhaustion. The eerie Cornish coast provides exactly the opposite when death and horror strike a local family and Holmes risks death to solve the case.
His Last Bow - Holmes is lured away from retirement to help his country on the eve of World War I and employs one of his most successful disguises to penetrate a German spy ring.

Mr. Doyle can claim Holmes is done as often as he wants. The public will keep re-inventing him until the end of time. Nice to listen to the originals.

Buku ini tidak terlepas daripada berlakunya kes pembunuhan. Saya fikir cerita Misteri Kaki Syaitan adalah lebih menarik berbanding cerita Penghormatan Terakhir: Tugasan Perang Sherlock Holmes.
