    The Story of the Czarina's Diamonds by Richard Harding Davis

    Following on from The Story of the Naval Attaché last week, we move onto part 2 of Richard Harding Davis's novella: In The Fog, in which a Queen's Messenger has an encounter with the seductive, charming, ruthless, femme fatale, Russian spy Princess Zichy. It takes place not in the fog, but in an overnight train from Paris to the French Riviera. Oozing period charm, it reminded me a bit of The Lady Vanishes. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • The Story of the Naval Attache by Richard Harding Davis

    The Story of the Naval Attache by Richard Harding Davis
    Oct 6 2026
    On a winter night when London has quite forgotten the idea of light, an American naval attaché loses his way in the yellow murk near Knightsbridge. The streets are gone, the landmarks drowned; only an occasional scrap of gaslight or distant music proves the city is still there at all. Groping along an iron railing, he finds an open gate, a half‑closed door, and a silent, richly furnished house that should not be open to the fog or to him. Someone has just left in haste. Someone else, he soon discovers, has not left at all. In that strange, luxurious quiet, the fog outside begins to feel less dangerous than whatever is waiting in the rooms within. In the Fog first appeared in 1901, serialised in The Windsor Magazine, and was later collected by Charles Scribner’s Sons. It is now in the public domain and widely available, including in the Library of Congress Crime Classics edition. Richard Harding Davis (1864–1916) was an American war correspondent, journalist, and bestselling author of adventure and mystery tales. His work helped define the image of the dashing foreign correspondent and shaped popular fiction on both sides of the Atlantic at the turn of the twentieth century. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • The Adventure of the Copper Beeches by Arthur Conan Doyle

    The Adventure of the Copper Beeches by Arthur Conan Doyle
    Sep 29 2026
    Miss Violet Hunter has been offered a post as governess at a salary so far above the ordinary. The conditions attached are small, and each on its own might be put down to an employer's eccentricity. She goes a handsome house in the Hampshire countryside, where the beech trees burn copper in the evening light. But, as you might imagine, things are not what they seem. "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches" first appeared in The Strand Magazine in June 1892, with illustrations by Sidney Paget.
It was collected later that year as the twelfth and final story in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) trained as a doctor in Edinburgh before turning to writing, and created Sherlock Holmes in 1887. 
He wrote fifty-six short stories and four novels about the detective, alongside historical fiction, science fiction and tales of the supernatural. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
