The Adventure of the Three Garridebs (1924), one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes.According to Dr. Watson's opening narration, this story is set at "the latter end of June, 1902 ... the same month that Holmes refused a knighthood for services which may perhaps some day be described." This is a parallel to the knighthood of Arthur Conan Doyle around the same time. Holmes receives a letter from a Nathan Garrideb of 136 Little Ryder Street,asking for help in a most peculiar quest. He is looking for another man with his unusual surname, for it will mean a $5 million inheritance for him. He has been approached by another man, John Garrideb of Kansas, who says that he needs to find others with the same last name.The American Garrideb comes to see Holmes and Watson at 221B Baker Street, and is apparently not very pleased that Nathan Garrideb has involved a detective. Garrideb, who claims to be a lawyer, spins a ridiculous story about Alexander Hamilton Garrideb, a millionaire land tycoon he met in Kansas. Hamilton Garrideb bequeathed his $15 million estate to John Garrideb on the provision that he find two more Garridebs to share it with equally. He came to England to seek out people with the name, having failed in his own country.

Februar 1888: Sherlock Holmes ist frustriert. Bei seinen Bemühungen, die geheimnisvolle Nummer Eins der Londoner Unterwelt zu identifizieren, tritt der beratende Detektiv seit Monaten auf der Stelle. Da kommt ihm das Problem des verzweifelten Bankiers Alexander Holder gerade recht. Jener hat einem hochrangigen Vertreter der Königshauses einen Kredit in Höhe von 50.000 Pfund gewährt und dafür als Sicherheit ein unschätzbar wertvolles Diadem mit 39 Beryll-Edelsteinen bekommen. Dieses Diadem ist nun zerbrochen, und drei der Edelsteine sind verschwunden. Holder hat seinen Sohn Arthur in Verdacht, den er nachts mit dem Diadem erwischt hat. Arthur beteuert seine Unschuld, weigert sich aber trotzdem standhaft, etwas zur Sache zu äußern. Holder fürchtet nun einen öffentlichen Skandal und um sein Ansehen. Gemeinsam mit seinem Freund Dr. Watson sucht Holmes in Holders Haus und im verschneiten Garten nach Spuren. Viel Zeit hat er nicht, denn der Prinz wird das Diadem bald zurückverlangen ... - Wie schon bei der Kurzgeschichte "Silver Blaze" ("Silberstrahl") wird Sherlock Holmes in Arthur Conan Doyles Kurzgeschichte "The Beryl Coronet" mit einem Szenario konfrontiert, das viele Möglichkeiten bereithält. Verdächtige gibt es mehrere, und die Spurenlage ist verworren. Die Kurzgeschichte erschien erstmals im Jahr 1892 im "Strand Magazine" und dann im Oktober desselben Jahres im Buch "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" ("Die Abenteuer des Sherlock Holmes") zusammen mit elf weiteren Geschichten. Im deutschsprachigen Raum kennt man "The Beryl Coronet" unter den Titeln "Das Abenteuer mit dem Berylldiadem, "Das Beryll-Diadem", "Das Diadem", "Die Geschichte des Beryll-Kopfschmuckes" und "Die Beryll-Krone". Beryll-Edelsteine kommen auch im Sherlock-Holmes-Roman "The Sign of the Four" ("Das Zeichen der Vier") vor. - Wie schon in einigen anderen Hörspielen unserer Serie "Sherlock Holmes: Legends" gibt es auch in "Das Beryll-Diadem" ein kleines historisches Detail, mit dem die Folge in einem ganz bestimmten Jahr verortet wird. Es ist Watsons Erwähnung der Grundsatzrede Otto von Bismarcks zur deutschen Außenpolitik am 6. Februar 1888. Vergleichbare Details sind zum Beispiel die Schlacht von Maiwand ("Das Musgrave-Ritual"), das erste Elektrizitätswerk ("Das gesprenkelte Band") oder der sagenumwobene Tod des bayerischen Königs Ludwig II ("Der niedergelassene Patient").

Holmes, whose talent for deduction was modelled on the skill of Doyle's professor, Dr. Joseph Bell, first appeared in the full-length novel, A Study in Scarlet, in 1887. While Doyle wrote other works of fiction and non-fiction, none of those captured the public's imagination in the same way as consulting detective Sherlock Holmes and his friend and chronicler, Dr. John Watson, who have become one of the most well-known detective duos in literature. Later in life, Doyle became a prominent public figure, known for his humanitarian campaigns and his controversial interest in spiritualism. His legacy endures in the enduring popularity of Sherlock Holmes and the countless adaptations inspired by his work. This audiobook is fully indexed.

"The Gloria Scott", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. It is chronologically the earliest case in Sherlock Holmes canon. This story is related mainly by Holmes rather than Watson, and is the first case to which Holmes applied his powers of deduction, having treated it as a mere hobby until this time. This is one of the two Sherlock Holmes stories in which a protagonist is haunted by an old acquaintance for an old crime. The other is "The Boscombe Valley Mystery". It is also one of his many stories that deal with the fate of characters who return to England after having spent time abroad in the colonies of the British Empire. In his university days, Holmes spent a month with his friend, Victor Trevor, at Victor's father's estate in Norfolk. While there, Holmes amazed his host, Victor's father, who was a Justice of the Peace and a landowner. He had made his fortune in the goldfields in Australia. One of Holmes's deductions was that the elder Mr. Trevor was once connected with someone with the initials "J. A." whom he wanted to forget. His host then passed out on the table. Holmes had touched a sore spot, and possibly did not believe the old man's explanation once he had come back to himself that J. A. had been an old lover.
