This volume contains "The Musgrave Ritual", "The Reigate Squires", "The Crooked Man", and "The Resident Patient". Clive Merrison stars as Holmes with Michael Williams as Watson in these adventures, part of the fully dramatised BBC canon of Conan Doyle's short stories and novels featuring the world-famous sleuth.
In Venice, Frances Croy is working to leave the previous year behind: another novel published to little success, a scathing review she can't quite manage to forget, and, most of all, the real reason behind her self-imposed exile from London: the incident at the Savoy. Sequestered within an aging palazzo, Frankie finds comfort in the emptiness of Venice in winter, in the absence of others. And then Gilly appears.
