No evidence remained on the bodies of Alun Pitcher, a well-liked, wealthy, careful & cautious businessman, & his family after they'd been wrapped in brown paper & string, doused in petrol & ignited. The fires had destroyed any evidence, or so the pathologist & the local police believed. Defeated, the local force asks for outside help. Following success in solving a previous 'cold' case, Inspector Trevor Joseph & Sergeant Peter Collins are called in. Their superiors trust them to provide answers to the questions that have confounded the local force. Did the murderer or murderers possess knowledge of police procedure & criminal investigative methods that have resulted in the perfect, unsolvable crime? Why would anyone want to kill a well-liked family who have no known enemies? How did the murderer or murderers overcome three grown men & a woman without anyone seeing anything, or hearing a sound? &, most important of all, was all the evidence really destroyed? ...

As Sherlock Holmes once conceded to Dr. Watson, ' If we could fly out of that window hand in h&, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs & peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the planning, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chain of events, working through generations & leading to the most outre results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities & foreseen conclusions most stale & unprofitable.' & with such a spirit for investigation & discovery does David Grann set out in The Devil & Sherlock Holmes to unravel the truth of twelve great, real-life mysteries. Although Holmes is the subject of just one of the mesmerizing true stories in this collection, all twelve contain elements of intrigue. Many of the protagonists are sleuths: a Polish detective trying to determine whether an author planted clues to a real murder in his post-modern novel; an arson investigator racing to prove whether a man about to be executed is innocent; a legendary French con man questioning whether he is the one who is suddenly being conned; & scientists stalking a sea monster. Unlike the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, these tales are all true. The protagonists are mortal & pieces of the puzzle often elude them. Some of the characters are driven to deception & murder. Others go mad. But ultimately the stories contained in The Devil & Sherlock Holmes shed light on the human condition, & why some people on this earth devote themselves to good & others to evil. As Holmes put it, ' Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent'. ...
