London, October 1974. A Member of Parliament is missing, his clothes left folded on a Miami beach, and the newspapers have already drowned him. His wife asks Sherlock Holmes only one thing: not how her husband died, but what became of him.

From the series Sherlock Holmes — The New Cases: a real 1970s mystery reimagined as a classic Sherlock Holmes radio drama, performed by a full multi-voice AI cast with an original score and sound design.

Loosely inspired by a real 1970s British case. All names, characters, dialogue and events are fictional; the words, actions, motives and private lives of every character — including the missing man, his wife, the people he knew and the police — are invented for drama, and so is the solution of the mystery. Where a real city or public body is mentioned, its part in this story is invented. This is a work of fiction, not a factual account of any real person or institution. No real person is portrayed, and no real individual, company or organisation is accused of any act shown here.

Setting: London, the Black Country and beyond — autumn 1974.

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.
