Sherlock Holmes' detective genius and uncanny powers of deduction actually existed. His ability to draw startling conclusions from the barest of evidence and to solve cases which baffled the police was shared by his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, pioneer, author, doctor and master criminologist. This book draws on entirely new research, the author tells the story of the crimes that inspired Holmes' exploits, and the cases in which Conan Doyle became involved himself, often when the police had failed and he had received a request for Sherlock Holmes' help. Other cases and insights inito how closely many of the Sherlock Holmes stories were influenced by real cases are revealed by the author who also wrote "Leopold Bloom" .

Hardcover / Hardback. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. First edition. Hardback. This book is based on a remarkable discovery: Sherlock Holmes's methods of deduction and observation were actually those of his creator and used in order to solve real crimes. The author draws on entirely new research to follow the tracks Conan Doyle left as he entered the real world of Sherlock Holmes. The author has, for the first time, pieced together the evidence and the background to the mysterious Oscar Slater case, uncovering a staggering police cover-up which protected a prominent Scottish doctor from being implicated in the case. He reveals that it is largely towards Conan Doyle that we must look to discover the mind behind the detection of George Smith, the ruthless Brides in the Bath murderer, and the discovery of the location of the hidden grave at Moat House Farm. Again the marks of Conan Doyle's unparalleled powers of 'elementary' deduction are revealed in his correspondence concerning the identity of Jack the Ripper. Other chapter headings include : The Persecution of George Edalji; Stolen: The Irish Crown Jewels; The Langham Hotel Mystery; Was Crippen Innocent?; Ned Kelly and Fisher's Ghost: Crime in Australasia; The Strange Death of the General's Wife; The Crowborough Chicken Farm Murder; + much, much more. Illus. + Notes and Sources. 235pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Includes loosely inserted copy of a 4pp. article from the 'Saturday Review' 1922, entitled 'Hymns and Humbug: Doings At A Seance - Sir A. Conan Doyle Takes Me To Hear Spirit Voices, and I Discover Self-Deception and Humbug' by Filson Young. This article was sent to Wilf Gregg by his great friend, crime historian Jonathan Goodman.
