Synopsis

Kelvin I. Jones has written about Sherlock Holmes for over 50 years and has studied late-Victorian crime, criminals and criminalistics, bringing a forensic approach to the subject. Described as the first part of a three-volume work, this instalment sets out to cover the murder and violence of Holmes’s era in broad scope, for readers new to the topic as well as those already familiar with it.

The book examines a range of criminal types, from poisoners and garrotters to abductors and psychopaths, alongside the wider underworld associated with Moriarty. It also presents a profile of Arthur Conan Doyle, including an examination of the Ripper and Conan Doyle’s theories on the murderer’s identity, and is profusely illustrated with rare images drawn from 19th-century documents.
