The Speckled Band - Author's Expanded Edition

Set against the backdrop of a 1910 London theatre, this edition revisits a Sherlock Holmes stage play that features the iconic detective and his companion Watson confronting the menacing Dr. Grimesby Rylott and his snake. While the performance captivated audiences, it fell short with an unsatisfactory ending that lacked Holmes' trademark deductions. The editor enhances the narrative by incorporating elements from the original short story and adaptations, aiming to fulfill the expectations of Holmes enthusiasts and restore the essence of Conan Doyle's storytelling.
