[From front jacket flap] This first comprehensive biography of the great detective is in the best traditions of modern scholarship combining scrupulous accuracy and painstaking thoroughness with a warm and infectious enthusiasm. Hitherto we have had to rely for our information unduly on the writings of Dr John H. Watson who, as Mr Baring-Gould shows so convincingly, is often, through natural delicacy or fear of embarrassing his second wife, intentionally misleading about the facts of Holmes's life, and sometimes sensationalizes them unduly. The author is also able to fill in most if not quite all of the gaps in our knowledge of Holmes, tracing his parentage, his somewhat erratic career at Oxford, Cambridge and Bart's, as well as his interlude on the stage in Britain and America, all of which helped to prepare him for his future vocation. He reveals Holmes's hitherto little-known relationships with other celebrities of the time - such important figures as King- Edward VII, Karl Marx, Lewis Carroll and Bernard Shaw, to say nothing of Jack the Ripper and the Abominable Snowman - and goes far towards elucidating the mystery of Holmes's missing years. The book thus provides a narrative that, while retaining much of the most interesting old material, explores territory that may be new even to the most dedicated student. Until Holmes's own Whole Art of Detection is published it will certainly remain the definitive work on the subject. Jacket design by Graham Oakley.

"Se io non mi diverto nello scrivere un libro, nessuno si divertira a leggerlo." Rex Stout A New York, in un anno, avvengono circa seicento omicidi; e secondo la ponderata opinione di Nero Wolfe, se non fosse per lui, Wolfe, "uno su tre" dei casi della Squadra Omicidi rimarrebbero insoluti. Dell'ispettore Cramer, che dirige la Squadra Omicidi, Wolfe dice: "E un uomo eccellente. In nove omicidi su dieci i suoi servigi sarebbero piu preziosi dei miei; per fare soltanto qualche esempio, io ho bisogno di osservare orari regolari, non potrei funzionare neppure in modo passabile se non avessi a disposizione della birra ghiacciata, e non sono in grado di correre. Se sono costretto a impegnarmi in uno sforzo fisico considerevole, come il dover uccidere un serpente nel mio studio, mi sento affamato per diversi giorni".
