In this entertaining biography, Nick Rennison presents a new account of the life and times of the famous detective.

Sherlock Holmes: The Unauthorized Biography blends what we already know of the great sleuth's career with carefully documented social history to answer the questions admirers have long puzzled over. Nick Rennison reveals for the first time Holmes's influence on the political events of late-nineteenth-century England and his connections to the British criminal underworld. It also brings to light his close friendships with key figures of the day, including Oscar Wilde and Sigmund Freud; and exposes the truth about his cocaine use.

Nick Rennison works as an editor, writer and bookseller. His books include a poetry anthology (Poets on Poets, Carcanet 1998), and two guides to fiction, The Good Reading Guide and The Good Reading Guide to Crime Fiction.
