See all formats and editions

In this new biography, Nick Rennison presents a new account of the life and times of the famous detective. "Sherlock Holmes: The Unauthorized Biography" blends what we already know of the great sleuth's career with carefully documented social history to answer the questions admirers have long puzzled over. "Sherlock Holmes: The Unauthorized Biography" reveals for the first time Holmes's influence on the political events of late-nineteenth-century England and his connections to the British criminal underworld.

It also brings to light his close friendships with key figures of the day, including Oscar Wilde and Sigmund Freud; and exposes the truth about his cocaine use.
