From Holmes to Sherlock
A talented Sherlock Holmes expert brings to life the history of one of the most enduring characters in literature, from the Victorian era to today
The Life and Death of Sherlock Holmes
Everybody knows about Sherlock Holmes, the unique literary character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who has remained popular over the decades and is more appreciated than ever today. But what made this fictional character, dreamed up by a small-town English doctor back in the 1880s, into such a great success? This is the fascinating and exciting tale of the man and people who created the Holmes legend. The book was winner of the Best Non-fiction Award by The Swedish Crime Writers' Academy 2013 and shortlisted for The Great Non-Fiction Book Prize (Sweden's biggest non-fiction award) in Sweden 2013.

The Keys of Death
The Keys of Death is Baker Street bedrock. In Gretchen Altabef's 1880 novel, Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Watson, and Mrs. Hudson begin something great in the world. Out of the fog three young souls unite in their common desire for justice. A genesis story about friendship with the power to change the world. Here, finally, Mrs. Hudson's part in it can be told. Our cast includes Paris’s gentleman thief, Arsene Lupin, West African pirate, Félix Calabar, London’s spectacular beauty, Lily Langtry, the Imperial Theatre Orchestra, the Irregular’s, and even the Prince of Wales has a part to play in Holmes’ solution to the murder mystery. Altabef’s exploration into women’s history brings to light the immensely creative approach to freedom crafted by the ladies of the Anglo-Jewish Community. The Keys of Death rocks the heart of Holmes’ world. With a vengeful villain to match him. The world’s first consulting detective practice is born through one man’s unshakable belief in his gifts, his courage, and especially his friends. Through every challenge Sherlock Holmes upholds his vision of a merciful justice for our world.
Fra Holmes til Sherlock
Alle kender Sherlock Holmes. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle skabte en litterær figur, som har beholdt sin popularitet i 125 år, og som i dag er mere elsket end nogensinde. Men hvordan kunne denne fiktive skikkelse, som en ung, fattig, engelsk læge fantaserede frem i 1800-tallet, blive sådan en succes? FRA HOLMES TIL SHERLOCK er bogen om de mænd og kvinder, der skabte succesen. Om skuespillere, forfattere og fans, som i årti efter årti fornyede den kendte detektiv – fra 1890’ernes gentleman Holmes til 2010’ernes skæve Sherlock. Den er også en tragisk historie om en mand, der forsøgte at flygte fra den figur, han selv havde skabt, og om en arv, der ødelagde en hel slægt. Mattias Boström er en af Skandinaviens førende Sherlock Holmes-kendere, og han giver os i denne bog en fascinerende skildring af verdens bedste detektiv og det mere end hundred år lange spil bag kulisserne.
