About this listen

THE ADVENTURE OF THE PINCHED PALIMPSEST.

THREE STUDENTS FROM OXFORD BREAK INTO THE BRITISH MUSEUM.

THE NEXT DAY THEY ARE CHARGED WITH THE MURDER IF A MUSEUM GUARD.

At Oxford University, an influential professor has been proselytizing for anarchism. Three naive students fall for his doctrines and decide to engage in direct action by stealing priceless artifacts from the British Museum, returning them to the oppressed people from whom their colonial masters stole them. In the midst of their caper, a museum guard is shot dead and they are charged with the murder. After being persuaded by a vulnerable friend of the students, Sherlock Holmes agrees to take on the case. He soon discovers that no one involved is telling the complete truth.

Join Holmes and Watson as they race from London to Oxford, then to Cambridge and finally up to a remote village in Scotland and seek to discover the clues that are tied to an obscure medieval palimpsest.
