Sherlock Holmes : The Unauthorised Biography
Author(s): Nick Rennison
In this 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. First published 2005.
