About this listen

"A coppertop steam engine has disappeared," explains a train boiler inspector as he visits Sherlock Holmes at 221B, "and not by the whim of drunken youths." Something sinister is afoot, and Holmes learns as he takes on the mystery that criminals have designs upon using the locomotive for purposes never imagined by its designers.©2009 One Voice Recordings (P)2009 One Voice Recordings Anthologies Anthologies & Short Stories Detective Fiction Mystery Short Stories Traditional Detectives Detective Anthology

Editor reviews

In The Missing Coppertop, a Sherlock Holmes mystery by J. R. Campbell, a train boiler inspector visits Holmes with an astonishing discovery: a coppertop steam engine has been stolen, not as a prank, and quite possibly for nefarious purposes. Commandingly performed by acclaimed English actor of the Shakespearean stage David Ian Davies, Holmes appears as quick-witted and humorous as always. Throughout the story's twists and turns and the revelation of the locomotive's dangerous potential, listeners will remain riveted to this classic mystery.
