Ever wondered where Conan Doyle got his inspiration for the literary sleuth? Was there a real 'study in scarlet' in Victorian London? Who was the real Moriarty, and did he baffle Victorian police detectives? B.J. Rahn explores the world that Sherlock emerged from in this fascinating look at crime and detection in 19th-century London. She explores in turn each aspect of the novels, from footprint analysis and blood testing to drug addiction and political crimes.
