Description: >*Sherlock Holmes Detected* examines the life and career of the famous detective, and of his faithful friend Dr Watson, through the pages of the four novels not forgetting, of course, the fifty-six shorter adventures in which Holmes also appeared. While paying due respect to previous commentators on the Baker Street scene, the author has carried out much further research, enabling new light to be thrown on many of the major problems. Dr Watson's married life, and the puzzles of the Moriartys - including a possible connection with British royalty - are among those discussed. New solutions are presented and the author has arrived at several remarkable conclusions.
