After the death of the world's greatest private consulting detective, Mr Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street, among his personal effects unearthed by his brother Mycroft was a series of monographs on all aspects of criminal investigation. These were subsequently edited by his colleague and friend, Dr John H. Watson and remained in the possession of Mycroft and his descendants for many decades thereafter.Holmes had originally intended to collate and edit his observations under the title of a single volume: 'The Art of Detection.' The present series has been scrupulously re-edited by renowned British Sherlockian, Kelvin I Jones. A fascinating and illuminating study of the forensic criminology of the late 19th Century.Previous plaudits for Kelvin I Jones' previous works on Sherlock Holmes.
