BBC Radio 4 - Book at Bedtime, Sherlock Holmes: The Valley of Fear, Episode 6

To solve the mystery we must journey back in time to America and into the Valley of Fear.

To solve the mystery of who attempted to kill John Douglas, it is necessary to journey back to the past and into the Valley of Fear.

The Valley of Fear, the last of the four Sherlock Holmes novels, ranks among Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's best work. The mystery begins with a coded warning of imminent danger, drawing the illustrious Sherlock Holmes and the faithful Dr. Watson to a secluded English country home. A trail of bewildering clues leads to sleuthing in the finest Holmesian tradition and the gripping backstory of a cult that terrorized a valley in the American West.
