Sherlock Holmes: Second Generation

Tragedy strikes the midway in this crime noir tale from the one and only Johnny Dollar, America’s “fabulous freelance insurance investigator”. The carnival has come to town, but fun and games are in short supply while thrills and chills abound for the man with the action-packed expense account.

It's not unusual to find the great detective and his faithful companion caught up in a murder mystery. What is unusual is the identity of the number one suspect: Sherlock Holmes! Join us as Laura Fawkes Lapole and Daniel Mori bring to life the intrepid duo of Detective Holmes and Doctor Watson as they race to unravel the case.

In The Maltese Falcon, the best known of Hammett's Sam Spade novels, Spade is tough enough to bluff the toughest thugs and hold off the police, risking his reputation when a beautiful woman begs for his help, while knowing that betrayal may deal him a new hand in the next moment.

Long time friends Holmes and Watson reflect on their fabled sleuthing.  Active practice of detective work is well behind them, but Watson wonders if Holmes ever thinks of pursuing cases again. Preposterous! But you know what that means... a case is about to be laid in their laps. PS: for those who missed the previous episode, or know nothing of the classic tales written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, "The Woman" is how Holmes refers to an arch nemesis, Irenie Adler. The one woman who outsmarted him, and got away.
