The real Sherlock Holmes
Buckley, Angela2014
Book
On 6 December 1886, Arthur Foster leaves the Queen's Theatre, Manchester, with a pocket full of gold and a lady bedecked with diamonds on his arm. He hails a hansom cab unaware that a detective has been trailing him as he crisscrossed the streets of the city. As the cab pulls away, the detective slips inside and arrests the infamous 'Birmingham Forger'. The detective is Jerome Caminada, legendary policeman and real-life Victorian super-sleuth. Caminada is at the top of his game, tracking criminals through the streets of Manchester's underworld. His groundbreaking detective work leads to the unravelling of classic crime cases such as the Hackney Carriage Murder in 1889, secret government missions and a deadly confrontation with his arch-rival, a ruthless and violent thief.
