The book begins with a brief examination of the effect that the
stories have had on modern crime literature. It goes on to examine
the origins of the character of Holmes himself from his appearance
to his drug use and supposed dislike of women. We then move onto a
mini-biography of some of the significant characters in the series.
Each of the original stories by Conan Doyle is examined in an
effort to explain some of the more esoteric aspects and an
examination is made of the attempts to form a proper chronology for
the stories - as Doyle did not write the stories in strict
chronological order. The second half of the book focuses on
Holmes's career on the screen. There is a brief examination of some
of the more notable actors to have portrayed Holmes and the films
in which they appeared. Finally we look at the possible
requirements for a definitive screen portrayal of the canon.
