London, May 1943. A code clerk climbs to Baker Street with a board of chalked names in her head: five agents dropped by moonlight to the reception parties of one radioman in The Hague, and not one of them has ever come on air. Her chiefs say she is imagining things, and Inspector Lestrade has put her name in his notebook. Holmes and Watson cross to The Hague under Red Cross armbands to learn whether the man at the key has turned.

From the series Sherlock Holmes — The New Cases: a real wartime case of the 1940s reimagined as a classic Sherlock Holmes radio mystery, performed by a full multi-voice AI cast with an original score and sound design.

Loosely inspired by a real wartime intelligence case of the 1940s. All names, characters, dialogue and events are fictional; the words, actions, motives and private lives of every character — including the agents, the radio operators, the intelligence officers and the police — are invented for drama, and so is the solution of the mystery. This is a work of fiction, not a factual account of any real person or institution.

Setting: London and The Hague, in the occupied Netherlands — spring 1943.

Directed Edition: the same story, newly performed line by line with a directing pass for every voice: each actor's delivery is chosen for the moment, from a dry aside to a held breath.

Writer v2.7 — the studio's newest writing process: the plot is planned and checked by an AI story editor, then each act is drafted with the whole story in view and edited before a word is voiced.
