Talese/Doubleday,[1] and during the same month an unabridged audiobook 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 2006 by Anchor Books/Random House.[3]

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.
