The Adventure of the Creeping Man

The Adventure of the Creeping Man – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

* This book is available at LoDingo.com *



The strange behavior of a family dog towards its master brings Holmes into a case involving the increasingly odd and disturbing behavior of the man himself, a respected professor.



Mr. Trevor Bennett comes to Holmes with a most unusual problem. He is Professor Presbury's personal secretary, and until recently he has enjoyed the old Camford physiologist's implicit trust as though he were a close member of the family. Mr. Bennett is also engaged to the professor's only daughter, Edith.



Professor Presbury is himself engaged to a young lady, Alice Morphy, a colleague's daughter, although he himself is already sixty-one years old. Their impending marriage does not seemed to have caused a great scandal; so that is not Mr. Bennett's problem. Nonetheless, the trouble seems to have begun at about the time of Professor Presbury's and Alice's engagement.

First, the professor suddenly left home for a fortnight without telling anyone where he was going. He returned looking rather travel-worn. It was only through a letter from a friend sent to Mr. Bennett that the family learnt that Professor Presbury had been to Prague.



Also, the professor's usually faithful wolfhound has taken to attacking him on occasion, and has had to be tied up outside. Holmes knows from his study of dogs that this is significant.



About the Narrator

David Ian Davies is a talented actor and acclaimed dramatic reader that has given voice to the popular Star Wars video games and many classic stories, including works penned by Shakespeare, HG Wells and Oscar Wilde. His Sherlockian audio performances are arguably his best to date, with reviewers raving about his truly amazing skill in bringing the stories to life.



“…to refer to David's Sherlock Holmes productions as simply dramatic readings is a major understatement, as he brings a wonderful range of distinctly unique voices into play as he essays each of the characters, creating a marvelously layered and rich listening experience that showcases Arthur Conan Doyle's masterful use of language.”
