SHERLOCK HOLMES
and the Singular Adventure of
THE GLOVED PIANIST
A SHERLOCK HOLMES "WHODUNIT"
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a great originator and his plots covered many crimes. However he never wrote a "whodunit" murder mystery. The golden age for the kind of story which has a final chapter with all the suspects in the library awaiting the revelation of the guilty party came after Doyle's death. We usually look to Dame Agatha Christie for that sort of fiction rather than Doyle.
Alan Stockwell the author of The Singular Adventures of Mr Sherlock Holmes now not only brings you a "whodunit" starring the great detective but also includes in the book a novel
MURDER MYSTERY
ACTING VERSION
The story of the Gloved Pianist is intriguing and unusual. We see Holmes and Watson attending a concert given by Signor Salvato at the Baker Street Chamber Music Society. The virtuoso pianist who plays in white gloves has barely played a note when he collapses dead to the floor. The Society is indeed fortunate that the ace detective is on the spot to solve the heinous crime.

The MURDER MYSTERY ACTING VERSION is printed as an appendix to the book. It takes the form of a play with a cast of suspicious persons all with a motive for killing Signor Salvato the Gloved Pianist. However, the novelty of the play is that the audience is an integral part of the proceedings and the action takes place among them rather than upon a stage. The play may be performed free of all fees and royalties but prior permission should be sought from the publisher via the CONTACT PAGE.
Of course the book may be read and enjoyed in narrative story form in the usual way!
