Sherlock Holmes: The Unauthorized Biography
Nick Rennison
He has
been called a genius and a fraud, a hero and an addict. He advised

global icon, but could he pass the most ardent fan on the street
without a flicker of recognition. Who was this Sherlock Holmes? With
attention to detail that would make his subject envious, Rennison
gathers the clues of a life lived among the stars of the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, from Oscar Wilde to Sigmund
Freud, and uncovers starting, previously unknown information.
