This week on The Swinging Wake, Neil Gaiman brings us "A Study in Emerald."

I wouldn't steer you wrong, and neither would Neil (knowingly).

These are the principle players in tonight's intrigue:

Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective. Hobbies: violin, cocaine.

Dr. James Watson. Occupation: pensioner, sidekick.

Professor Moriarty. Arch-Villain. M'wa-ha-ha.

Colonel Sebastian Moran. Also Evil. But Not As Notorious As Moriarty.

Cthulhu. Destroyer of Worlds.

The Great Old Ones. Also Bad News.

If you are feeling brave, click on the "POD" icon up above or the "direct download" link below. Both take you to the same foreboding destination.

The back alleys and fogbound streets of London await. And they'll be expecting me...

I'll see you all a little later...
