About this book
A stolen Indian treasure, a wooden-legged fugitive, a dose of cocaine and the first appearance of the woman Watson marries. Doyle wrote it after a publisher's dinner where he and Oscar Wilde were each commissioned to produce a novel; Wilde delivered The Picture of Dorian Gray. This is where Holmes explains that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains must be the truth. Twenty-two plates from Whistler to Piloty, 1851 to 1899, trace the night scenes, letters and bodies that shadow Doyle's tale of stolen treasure.
