Synopsis

This volume presents an account of the violent and exploitative Victorian setting in which Sherlock Holmes is said to have operated, focusing on crime, criminals and those who pursued them. It ranges across the crimes of The Ripper, Conan Doyle’s knowledge of the killer’s identity, and the methods used on both sides of the law.

The book also addresses Holmes’ drug abuse, his gang of ‘street arabs’, and the long-lost crime monographs attributed to the Baker Street detective. Kelvin Jones is described as the author of many books about Holmes, as well as a definitive biography of Doyle as a spiritualist and a three-volume edition of Doyle’s spiritualist writings.
