Description
Sherlockian by Graham Moore follows two mysteries that span over 100 years. In December 1893, the death of Sherlock Holmes was met with widespread grief among fans, who felt betrayed by his creator, Arthur Conan Doyle. However, just eight years later, Doyle resurrected Holmes in a shocking reversal. The story then shifts to the present day, where literary researcher Harold White is drawn into a quest for the missing diary of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. When the world's leading scholar on Doyle is found murdered, Harold takes up the search for both the diary and the killer, using his knowledge of detective stories to guide him. As Harold delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers a complex web of clues that lead him from London to New York, forcing him to confront the darker side of fandom.
