Sherlock Holmes, by far the most famous detective in the world, has spurred interest for over a century. With incredible amounts of fan fiction, a few blockbusters, and even replica home tours attributed to his name, the detective is still an international icon. Author Zach Dundas explores Holmes' rise to fame and how his legend has lived on throughout the decades in The Great Detective. Using narratives from his childhood, biographical information on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and personal insights into the culture of Sherlock Holmes, Dundas gives readers a new way to enjoy the world's greatest detective.
