Talese/Doubleday[1], and during the same month an unabridged audio book version read by Simon Jones was released on both compact disc and cassette by Highbridge Audio[2]. A trade paperback edition was published in May of 2006 by Anchor Books/Random House[3].
The audiobook edition by Mitch Cullin won the Audio Publishers Association's 2006 Audie Award for Unabridged Fiction.[4].
The tale is that of Sherlock Holmes, elderly and unable to walk without a cane, as his memory begins to fail. He lives with a housekeeper and her son, and talks to the son about his life before he forgets it entirely.
