Description

Arthur Conan Doyle (au); Stephen Hines (ed); Steven Womack (in). Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, wore many hats in his life -- adventurer, scientist, physician, political activist, & writer. Sir Arthur was not a man to sit idly by & witnesses the injustices perpetrated by those sworn to defend the public good & uphold the law. Two actual criminal cases came to his attention -- both involving innocent men -- & inspired him to get involved on behalf of the accused. Both accounts were documented by Sir Arthur & are presented here for the first time in one volume: “The Case of George Ernest Thompson Edalji,” & “The Case of Oscar Slater,”. Here are these cases with newly rediscovered source material & background on the cases, revealing the impact of Sir Arthur’s involvement.
