In December 1893, Sherlock Holmes-adoring Londoners eagerly opened their Strand magazines, anticipating the detective's next adventure, only to find the unthinkable: his creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, had killed their hero off. London spiraled into mourning -- crowds sported black armbands in grief -- and railed against Conan Doyle as his assassin.

Then in 1901, just as abruptly as Conan Doyle had "murdered" Holmes in "The Final Problem," he resurrected him. Though the writer kept detailed diaries of his days and work, Conan Doyle never explained this sudden change of heart. After his death, one of his journals from the interim period was discovered to be missing, and in the decades since, has never been found.

Or has it?

When literary researcher Harold White is inducted into the preeminent Sherlock Holmes enthusiast society, The Baker Street Irregulars, he never imagines he's about to be thrust onto the hunt for the holy grail of Holmes-ophiles: the missing diary. But when the world's leading Doylean scholar is found murdered in his hotel room, it is Harold - using wisdom and methods gleaned from countless detective stories - who takes up the search, both for the diary and for the killer.

看完汗毛都竖起来了，没想到历史上真的有福迷为了道尔的手稿而自相残杀，太可怕了啊啊啊啊啊！

too bad that sometimes problems in real life just dont have solutions. =(

两条主线交替略让感情疲劳，总体好喜欢！！！好想去莱辛巴赫瀑布……！

交错时空的爱恋【←大雾【两条主线像DNA的双螺旋一样交缠非常带感❤【有很多关于柯南道尔（当然少不了的福尔摩斯）的生平，亦真亦假——我想所有与夏洛克/ 柯南道尔相关的魅力都在于是否“想要”去相信吧，与此同时真假与否意义却不大了❤
