Dave Thompson digs deep inside the manifold worlds of Sherlock Holmes, offering a dramatic and detailed digest of the Baker Street sleuth in all of his many guises, as TV and radio star, movie phenomenon, and, of course, literary giant. The London that Holmes prowled in deerstalker and cloak is laid bare, as are the life and various fascinations of Holmes's creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Ghosts stalk these pages; vampires, too. Common crooks and misdirected souls. Giant hounds and fearful foes. And more puzzles, conundrums, and mysteries than any mortal detective could ever hope to solve. But Holmes, as we shall see, was no mere mortal. And Sherlock Holmes FAQ is the story of his immortality.
