Synopsis

In this personal account, Mark McPherson describes how an early interest in the worlds of Arthur Conan Doyle and his Great Detective became a defining part of his life. He writes of forming the DAEDALOS Investigative Agency and pursuing a wide range of literary, historical, paranormal and criminal enigmas, earning comparisons such as “a real life Sherlock Holmes” and “Michigan’s Indiana Jones”.

The memoir also recounts investigations and projects including the search for the Loch Ness Monster, work at Egypt’s Giza Plateau, research into the Shakespeare authorship mystery, and enquiries connected with the Shroud of Turin. Further highlights include locating the Dartmoor site described as the “true Baskerville Hall” with the Sherlock Holmes Society of London, consulting with Scotland Yard during the 1979 “Yorkshire Ripper” manhunt, and creating an “Evening With Sir Arthur Conan Doyle” with Dame Jean Conan Doyle and Richard Lancelyn Green. Suitable for readers interested in Arthur Conan Doyle societies, historical detection and memoir.
