Everyone knows the name of Sherlock Holmes - the fictional detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with his superhuman powers of observation and methodology for solving crimes. But could his 1800's tactics really work in the modern world to solve genuine crimes? Using those methods, the author, a Private Investigator, along with 3 of the world's top criminologists, Dr Michael Baden, Dr Cyril Wecht and Dr Henry C. Lee, has convincingly solved the infamous Jack the Ripper murders of 1888; history's most talked-about murder mystery. But their actual resolution of the case is presented here as a Holmes novel, penned faithfully in the style of Doyle and explaining how the crimes were committed, in a fast-paced thriller featuring the world's most beloved detective along with Dr Watson, from whose point-of-view most of the tale is told. Once the reader has finally been shown the final solution, the murders are then revisited from the killers' perspective.

It was very easy finding something the main character of this book is good at - his ability to get into predicaments. The unlikely resolutions of these predicaments make the story. He has a way of falling into a steamy pile of misadventures, but usually ends up coming out smelling OK. It isn't that big fish that you caught; or that huge buck - it's the exaggerated memories.
