Summary:
TRUE CRIME. In December 1903, a group of gentlemen friends met for dinner at the Carlton
Club
. They had one great interest in common: a fascination with
crimes
and criminals. In the ranks of that first convivial circle there were writers, lawyers and academics rubbing shoulders with a London coroner and two celebrated aristocrats. In a golden age of literary dinners and good fellowship, these aficionados of murder agreed to have meetings at which members would talk on famous and infamous
crimes
. At the very heart of what came to be The
Crimes
Club
was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes and literary lion at many a gathering. Conan Doyle and the
Crimes
Club
: The Creator of Sherlock Holmes and his Criminological Friends recounts the lives of the first members of this celebrated body of criminologists, including their escapades in detective work, changing the law and undertaking spying missions.
