The author looks at Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's association with some of the most famous criminal cases of his time. The famous novelist is portrayed as energetic, determined and an advocate of the underdog. Interesting aspect of the well known author. I found the writing repetitive and the typeface tedious. (
