About this listen

This is a story from the Four Short Stories collection.

In these stories, Conan Doyle draws the listener in to experience drama, suspense and, ultimately, the shock of surprise. Here is a unique combination of a famous analytical intellect telling spine-tingling tales against a background of turn-of-the-century England. Nothing is quite as it seems. What is the secret of "Lot No. 249"? What lies in wait for an aviator in the stratosphere? And what lies inside "The Sealed Room"?

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle should have left his detective at the bottom of those falls and concentrated on his other works such as this one. He was a superb writer and this short masterpiece shows it.
