"The Adventure of the Resident Patient" from The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.
"Having secured him, it is evident to me that a consultation of some sort was held. Probably it was something in the nature of a judicial proceeding."
Please note that there's some variation in editions of this story. In many editions, it begins with the "mind reading" scene from "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box," something Doyle added to this tale after deciding CARD wouldn't be published in this collection of short stories. This narration includes that scene.
This story was narrated by Nathan Comstock. Nathan is a writer, voice actor, and audio producer based in Boston. He is a co-creator of the Science Fiction Audio Sitcom Solutions to Problems, where he also plays the role of the alien radio host known as Loaf. His voice can also be heard in Superstition and Wizard Seeking Wizard, and he hopes to debut a new urban fantasy audio drama, Electromancy, in 2021. Find him on Twitter @nathancomstock.
