The Case of the Green Wallpaper

Available for 33 days

Historian Lindsey Fitzharris investigates the real-life inspiration for Sherlock Holmes, travelling from the fog-bound streets of 19th-century Edinburgh to Gilded Age Manhattan. As a medical student in 1870s Edinburgh and long before literary success, Arthur Conan Doyle finds himself at the cutting edge of the new discipline of forensic medicine.
