[mysterious music] Welcome to Sherlock Holmes Short Stories. I'm Hugh Bonneville. And from the Noiser Podcast Network, this is The Adventure of the Crooked Man, Part 2. Last time, Holmes and Watson were called to Aldershot, where Colonel James Barclay of the Royal Munsters was found dead following a furious quarrel with his wife. Nancy Barclay now lies in shock, accused of her husband's murder. At some point in the hour and a half before his death, her mood seems to have shifted dramatically. Did she discover a long-buried secret about the colonel's military past? At the Barclay residence, Holmes found evidence that a male visitor had been present at the scene of the crime, but he wasn't there alone. Alongside the large footprints was the mark of some kind of animal, a strange and exotic paw print that even the great detective cannot identify.
