About this listen
The year is 1888. A pall of fog blankets London, obscuring the gaslit streets and lending an air of sinister mystery to the unfolding events. The city, a labyrinth of opulent mansions and impoverished slums, is gripped by fear. A killer stalks the shadows, leaving behind a single red rose as their chilling calling card the Rose Killer. Their victims, plucked from the diverse tapestry of London life from the women of the night to unsuspecting patrons are found with a horrific brutality that sends shockwaves through the metropolis. Scotland Yard, with its limited forensic capabilities and ingrained biases, struggles to make headway against this cunning adversary.
The press fuels the public's growing panic, sensationalizing each gruesome discovery. This is the world into which Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are thrust, their keen intellects and unwavering loyalty tested to their limits. Their investigation will lead them through the city's murky underbelly, revealing its hidden secrets and exposing the fragility of even the most powerful institutions. The story unfolds not just as a thrilling detective narrative but as a reflection of Victorian society itself, with its class divisions, social inequalities, and hidden moral ambiguities.
The Rose Killer is a product of this society, a manifestation of its darkest shadows. From the fog-choked alleys of Whitechapel to the grand halls of Buckingham Palace, the trail of red roses winds through a complex web of intrigue, leading Holmes and Watson towards a shocking truth. The story is woven with meticulous detail, informed by extensive research into Victorian life, ensuring authenticity and depth. The listener will be immersed in the sights, sounds, and smells of 19th-century London, experiencing the city's vibrant pulse alongside the chilling undercurrent of fear.

Story
"The case of the missing Mayan Codices". "I do not suppose that you have brought your revolver with you Watson?" I shook my head to indicate that my response was in the negative to his question. He turned his head forward again and led us through the kitchen, past several side pantries. As we cautiously inched forward, Holmes observed that the blood trail consisted of droplets of varying size. "Whomever it came from, they must have been applying intermittent pressure on the wound as they walked."
