Summary:
"London. 1910. A procession of well-attired gentlemen and ladies are clearly out of place among the stalls and pushcarts of the Whitechapel District. As the group makes its way through the crowded streets, the tour guide stops now and then to point out various places where the mutilated bodies of the women had been found. Although the murders occurred twenty-two years prior, the man leading the group seems to know every detail and aspect of each slaying. Of those things he does not know, he offers freely his own insightful conjecture. This is, however, no average tour of brutal acts. It is a close look at infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper's trail of blood. And the man leading the group is none other than Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, famous creator of fictional character Sherlock Holmes, the world's greatest detective. Interspersed throughout the tour is the Friedmans well-researched account of the life of the young Conan Doyle, which was shrouded in more mystery than any of his own works of fiction. Doyle was able to reinvent himself so fully that few knew of the more disturbing elements of his own life story. In The Strange Case of Dr. Doyle, we learn what draws one famous Englishman to another in ways that are as fascinating as they are shocking"--Provided by publisher.
