Who was the real Sherlock Holmes? How did he connect with Dr. Watson? What was the political and social context of the time in which he operated? What was the relationship between the hero and his creator, Arthur Conan Doyle?
This unofficial yet original biography challenges the clichés surrounding Sherlock Holmes and his assistant, Dr. John Watson, and presents a comprehensive portrait of the man behind the magnifying glass.
It examines for the first time the unprecedented influence that Sherlock Holmes had on the political events of England in the late nineteenth century and reveals his mysterious connections to the underworld of crime in Britain.
A exemplary biography of the most legendary detective in world literature.
