🎧 "The Man with the Twisted Lip" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
A respectable gentleman disappears from an upstairs room in a squalid opium den, and in his place the police find only a hideous, twisted-faced beggar. His wife is certain he is alive; the evidence says otherwise. Sherlock Holmes sits up through the night over one of the strangest puzzles he has ever faced.
