πŸ“˜ Life and Death of Sherlock Holmes

Everyone knows Sherlock Holmes. But what made this fictional character into such a lasting success, despite the author's own attempt to escape his invention? In *The Life and Death of Sherlock Holmes,* Sherlock Holmes expert Mattias BostrΓΆm recreates the full story behind the legend for the first time. It includes tales of unexpected fortune, accidental romance and inheritances gone awry and tells of the actors, writers, readers and other players who have transformed Sherlock Holmes from the gentleman amateur of the Victorian era to the odd genius of today. From a young Arthur Conan Doyle sitting in a Scottish lecture hall taking notes on his medical professor's powers of observation to the pair of modern-day fans who brainstormed the idea behind the TV sensation *Sherlock*, from the publishing world's first literary agent to the Georgian princess who showed up at the Conan Doyle estate and altered a legacy, the book follows the men and women who have created and perpetuated the myth. Told in fast-paced, novelistic prose, *The Life and Death of Sherlock Holmes* is a singular celebration of the most famous detective in the world.
