FROM THE PUBLISHER

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the legendary author of the Sherlock Holmes stories, got involved with two actual criminal cases and published his observations. Here, "literary prospector" Stephen Hines and Edgar Award-winning author Steven Womack present these cases-"The Case of George Ernest Thompson Edalji" and "The Case of Oscar Slater"-with newly rediscovered original source material and an introduction that places them in the context of Doyle's life.
