In this pastiche (purported to be a lost work of Dr. Watson, dictated years after the death of Holmes), Dr. Watson tells the story of what REALLY happened during the period that Sherlock Holmes was thought to be dead (spanning Doyle’s stories “The Final Problem” and "The Empty House" . Watson tells us that the truth is that Holmes had fallen victim to his cocaine addiction, and required serious treatment. The doctor manages (with the help of Mycroft Holmes and a twisty plan) to get Sherlock to Vienna, where he places him in the treatment of Sigmund Freud. From there, a mystery begins to unfold.
I posted this encode on the Sherlock Holmes Group as an add-on to one of the Two posts of this. The best that was posted until today on The SH Group was at a 128K bitrate and I added as an upgrade this 256K encode. I am posting here also because sometimes excellent Holmes material is missed when it is posted on The Holmes group only.

Thank you for this upgrade.
I always said that not everyone checks the Holmes group. I guess I was right. You are quite welcome and enjoy. I always maintained that the better the sound the more enjoyable a play was. It's not just the words it is an entire world in your ears. Thank You for the cast credits. I couldn't find them anywhere. ----- Rick
