“two tickets for the theatre” [BRUC] Jeffrey Hatcher, BSI ("The Five Orange Pips") and Steve Hendrickson have teamed up for a new Sherlock Holmes play in which we find one mystery, separated by 25 years. Holmes has the first crack at it, followed by Hercule Poirot decades later. Appropriately enough, it is called Holmes Poirot. And it premieres in St. Paul, Minnesota in October 2024. Hatcher is known to Sherlockians for his screenplay for Mr. Holmes as well as two other Sherlockian plays. Hendrickson has played Sherlock Holmes on stage numerous times before with Bob Davis as his Watson. The two of them swap roles in the second act of this play, with Hendrickson assuming the role of Captain Hastings and Davis as Poirot. We talk with Jeff and Steve about their experience creating this innovative new play, about their early starts with Sherlock Holmes, and much more. We have the latest podcast entries in Madeline Quinones' "A Chance of Listening," and another Canonical Couplet quiz. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a surprise item from the IHOSE Vaults. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by September 29, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EDT.

Sherlock Holmes and the Telegram from Hell

1 Recommendations

“there appeared a long telegram” [SECO] Nicholas Meyer's first Sherlock Holmes book, The Seven Per-Cent Solution, became and remains the high-water mark for Sherlock Holmes pastiches. So when he edits another one of Dr. Watson's recovered manuscripts, it's always worthwhile. The latest is Sherlock Holmes and the Telegram from Hell, published by Mysterious Press, and it takes Holmes and Watson across the Atlantic, dodging German U-boats in pursuit of a coded telegram from Berlin to an unknown recipient in Mexico. We talk with Nick about his choice of setting and time, get into psychological and even philosophical discourses, and get a tantalizing preview of his next book: Sherlock Holmes and the Real Thing. You'll also hear the Sherlockian news, some listener voicemail with an inquiry that you might help with, a dramatic multi-podcast entry of Madeline Quinones' "A Chance of Listening," and another Canonical Couplet quiz. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a copy of Sherlock Holmes and the Telegram from Hell.

Spy Hunter

“You are here as a spy” [ILLU] In Spy Hunter, it’s 1914 and Sherlock Holmes has been murdered. Nobody knows who did it, but Wiggins, former Baker Street Irregular and Holmes' protégée, suspects a German spy. This is where H.B. Lyle's fourth installment in his Irregular series picks up. Ben joined us to share his journey as a writer focused on historical fiction, and how easily the ringleader of Holmes's street urchins turned to spycraft. The early days of MI5 and MI6 hold particular interest, and we learn about an inspiration by George MacDonald Fraser along the way. We also bring you the Sherlockian news, another podcast review in Madeline Quinones' "A Chance of Listening," and the Canonical Couplet quiz. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a copy of Spy Hunter. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by October 14, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EDT.
