Synopsis

Presented as the last of three diaries, this instalment follows Arthur Conan Doyle’s account of a “real life” Sherlock Holmes, introduced as a medical school dropout whose training in anatomy, surgery, observation and deduction is shaped in the laboratory of Dr Joseph Bell, an Edinburgh surgeon. Those skills, and a reputation for solving crimes, lead to recruitment by the British secret service.

Doyle then recounts a sequence of murders and the pursuit of a Russian assassin from Edinburgh to California’s Yosemite Valley, with a case that draws in a California millionaire and Chinese tongs. As the situation becomes increasingly desperate, the British secret service turns to Holmes, and the narrative concludes with his death, while noting that the detective continues in Arthur Conan Doyle’s novels.
