Conan Doyle by Peter Costello

This fascinating book is based on a remarkable discovery: Sherlock Holmes' methods of deduction were actually those of his creator and used in order to solve real crimes; for Scotland Yard Holmes really did exist in the form of Conan Doyle. Author Peter Costello draws on new research to follow the tracks Conan Doyle left as he entered the real word of Sherlock Holmes; his fictional outpourings were the direct result of their author's hidden career as an amateur detective and criminologist.
Peter Costello has written over eight books, including the highly acclaimed Life of Joyce, as well as having contributed to a wide range of journals from the Dublin Sunday Independent and the Irish Literary Supplement.
