<p>“My name is Sherlock Holmes. It is my business to know what other people don’t know.”<br> &nbsp;<br> This reader’s companion to the casework of Sherlock Holmes explores the methodology of the world’s most famous consulting detective.

Along the way, readers will discover a host of trivia about the master detective and his universe: Why did Holmes never marry? How was the real Scotland Yard organized?
