About this listen

Step into the shadowed streets of Victorian London with The Cabman’s Story, a gripping crime fiction short story by Arthur Conan Doyle. Told through the keen, world-weary voice of a London cabman, this atmospheric tale reveals how ordinary professions often brush against extraordinary—and dangerous—secrets.

Through two unforgettable encounters, the cabman recounts transporting a mysterious corpse placed in his cab under suspicious circumstances, and later becoming an unwitting accomplice to a clever banknote forger who hides criminal activity behind routine fares.

Rich in period detail and moral ambiguity, The Cabman’s Story explores crime, deception, and human nature as seen from the driver’s seat of London’s underbelly. Doyle masterfully captures the tension between respectability and corruption in late 19th-century society, offering listeners a compact yet haunting glimpse into the hidden lives that move through the city after dark.

Ideal for fans of classic crime fiction, Victorian mysteries, and character-driven storytelling, this short story lingers long after the credits roll.
