Bob Sharfman, BSI, (“Killer Evans”) has been a Sherlock Holmes fan and scholar for nearly 60 years. Collected in this book are Mr. Sharfman’s wide-ranging essays, ramblings, digressions, and musings from such renowned Sherlockian publications as the Baker Street Journal, The Norwegian Explorers Christmas Annual, The Passengers Log, The Illustrious Clients News, and many more!
With his characteristic sharp wit, Sharfman makes the case that:
- The M in MI-6 stands for Moriarty
- Polly Adler, the Jazz Age icon, was the sister of The Woman, Irene Adler
- Alcohol was safer to drink than water in the Victorian era
- Sherlock Holmes always represents justice even if he doesn’t always follow the law
- Golf is the reason we have The Hound of the Baskervilles
- The Sherlock Holmes Canon is great literature!
This is a must-have book for fans of Sherlock Holmes and Sherlockiana, reminiscent of the work of Vincent Starrett and William Baring-Gould.
