Sherlock Holmes: On The Air

Audio scripts of radio shows that have been syndicated by Imagination Theater as part of the Jim French Productions since 1995. They are currently broadcast on over 120 stations and also heard on the XM Satellite Radio system all across North America. In these all new adventures of the great consulting detective, writers Steven Philip Jones and Matthew J. Elliot, manage to honor the world of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle while creating the all new rich and exciting tales. Each tale is accompanied by a frontspiece original illustration by Joshua Werner, known for his Sherlock Holmes series from Cult-Stuff and the introduction is from Larry Albert, the voice of Dr. Watson on the radio series. THE ADVENTURE OF THE BORGIA RING- Judith Oxley wants to hire Sherlock Holmes to find her missing father, Lord Oxley, along with their family's prize possession, the Akbar Shah diamond. Holmes is a struggling consulting detective - this adventure takes place before he meets Watson - but before he can accept the case, Inspector Lestrade arrives to ask for his help with a murder investigation: Lord Oxley has just been found dead in a boxing ring at London's Cribb Sporting Club. Oxley obviously lost a brutal bareknuckle match, but was killed by a sword run through his back. THE ADVENTURE OF THE IRREGULAR CLIENT- Fifteen years ago, Duffey was one of the Baker Street Irregulars, but today she is all grown up, working as a housemaid, and accused of stealing from and murdering one of her employers, Mrs. Rosemary Gudgeon. Duffey's other employer, Mr. Watney Gudgeon, is missing and believed murdered as well, but Holmes doggedly pursues a duplicitous trail to prove Duffey's innocence. THE ADVENTURE OF THE PETTY CURSES- Sir Malcolm Angus-Burton, advisor to the Queen on matters of China, insists his Egyptian wife, Halima, has put a curse upon him. With Watson by his side, Holmes tracks the true culprit - the Angus-Burton's butler Tseng, who recently vanished under mysterious circumstances - to London's docklands and a stronghold of the Chinese criminal organization known as The Triad. A CASE OF UNFINISHED BUSINESS- Soon after Watson returns from the Reichenbach Falls, a former classmate, American Lot Morrill, pays a call. Their visit is cut off by Lestrade, who needs Watson's assistance in a delicate matter. The body of one of Moriarty's lieutenants, Harsh Washburne, has been discovered. Unbeknownst to Watson, Holmes is alive, and keeping watch on his old friend in the guise of cabby. While Holmes watches, Watson unravels the mystery of Washburne's death and its link to his old friend Morrill.
