Experience the myriad horrors awaiting David as he moves into his new house. There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile… This is the first title in the series known as The Strange Man, developed by Uri Games. It is an awesome Adventure, Horror And Indie game. The Granada TV adaptation, as with most of their stories, stayed true to the original Conan Doyle story line. The Adventure of the Crooked Man was also the fifth story adapted by Granada TV for British television and the episode would be broadcast on the 22nd May 1984, with Jeremy Brett, of course, starring as Sherlock Holmes.
The fact that there is no crime in The Adventure of the Crooked Man doesn’t detract from the story, for the case shows how Holmes observes whilst the police force simply sees. Part of the narrative deals, eventually, with the Indian Mutiny, a topic already touched upon by Conan Doyle in The Sign of Four. The story therefore develops from a supposedly impossible crime into a narrative of why events have unfolded as they did. The police though, seem disinterested in the missing key or the strange animal footprints inside the room, factors which Holmes sees as vital. The Adventure of the Crooked Man by Arthur Conan DoyleĪt the outset the case present to Sherlock Holmes in The Adventure of the Crooked Man seems a straightforward one, with Nancy Barclay killing her husband in a locked room following a heated argument.
