The Red Headed League by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle audiobook. 'The Adventure of the Red-Headed League' is one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It first appeared in The Strand Magazine in August 1891. Conan Doyle ranked 'The Red-Headed League' second in his list of his twelve favorite Holmes stories. In this story, Holmes is presented with a perplexing mystery involving a league set up to aid and benefit men with especially vivid red hair who live in London. Is this a crime? Of course not, but even the brilliant Holmes needs 'three pipefulls' of meditation time to penetrate the nefarious plots hidden beneath this seemingly innocuous fraternal aid society. Listen and enjoy the beautiful way in which only the great Sherlock Holmes deals with the situation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week we bring you the story originally intended for last week's episode, though we were overjoyed to be able to share an account of a dark god. Our story today, however, is a story of cold logic unlocking secrets in a world without a god, a world where even the prejudice we all turn toward cannot bar the incision of a well-trained mind. We hope you enjoy Arthur Conan Doyle's 'The Musgrave Ritual', sometimes known as 'The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual', a tale of billets, butlers, and bitter acts, and one of how accidentally we might uncover long-hidden secrets of the past.
