Publisher Description

Murder by Moonlight

Exactly as broadcast on October 29, 1945

A quiet ocean voyage turns into a murder investigation! The ship’s doctor has been murdered, and Holmes and Watson must solve the mystery before the Rahni of Kavorati falls victim to an unseen killer. But their investigation may lead them only to their own deaths.

The Singular Affair of the Coptic Compass

Exactly as broadcast on December 7, 1946

The clues: a railway ticket, a Coptic compass, a half-eaten apple, and an unclothed body—all found in Sherlock Holmes’ lodgings. Holmes must solve this mystery before he is embarrassed—and arrested—by Scotland Yard. And who is his nemesis? None other than Moriarty.
