The city is sweltering, full to bursting, and waiting for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. At White's in St James's Street sits a colonel who has never once refused a wager in thirty years. One hot evening he writes the strangest bet in the history of the club's famous book: five thousand guineas that a young member will be dead before the royal procession passes the window. The young man signs it, laughing. Then he climbs the stair at Baker Street and asks Sherlock Holmes to keep him alive for seven days. Each morning a new line appears in the book, counting down. A gift arrives that no one admits to sending. And as the Jubilee draws near, Holmes and Watson begin to understand that a deadline can be the most dangerous promise of all. 🕯️ A complete, fan-made Sherlock Holmes mystery, read in full and told by Dr Watson. About three hours long, with no mid-roll adverts. Made for quiet evenings, long drives and drifting off to sleep.
