In this new season of Adventures in Compliance, host Tom Fox takes a deep dive into Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes collection, The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes. It is the final set of twelve Sherlock Holmes short stories, first published in the Strand Magazine between October 1921 and April 1927. In this episode, we consider one of the lesser-known of all the Holmes stories, The Adventure of the Three Gables.
In this episode, we investigate the Sherlock Holmes short story ‘The Three Gables’ to uncover crucial compliance lessons. As part of ‘The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes,’ this episode examines ethical leadership, transparency, third-party risk management, whistleblower protections, reputation management, and root cause analysis through the lens of this lesser-known tale. The story of crime and manipulation serves as a reminder of the importance of integrity and accountability in business ethics. Check out the parallels between Sherlock Holmes’ investigative techniques and modern compliance practices and learn how these timeless lessons can strengthen organizational culture and mitigate risks.
