About this deal

In the first Holmes tale, A Study in Scarlet, financial difficulties lead Holmes and Dr. Watson to share rooms together at 221B Baker Street, London. [26] Their residence is maintained by their landlady, Mrs. Hudson. [27] Holmes works as a detective for twenty-three years, with Watson assisting him for seventeen of those years. [28] Most of the stories are frame narratives written from Watson's point of view, as summaries of the detective's most interesting cases. Holmes frequently calls Watson's records of Holmes's cases sensational and populist, suggesting that they fail to accurately and objectively report the "science" of his craft: The detective is particularly skilled in the analysis of trace evidence and other physical evidence, including latent prints (such as footprints, hoof prints, and shoe and tire impressions) to identify actions at a crime scene, [123] using tobacco ashes and cigarette butts to identify criminals, [124] utilizing handwriting analysis and graphology, [125] comparing typewritten letters to expose a fraud, [126] using gunpowder residue to expose two murderers, [127] and analyzing small pieces of human remains to expose two murders. [128] While Holmes can be dispassionate and cold, during an investigation he is animated and excitable. He has a flair for showmanship, often keeping his methods and evidence hidden until the last possible moment so as to impress observers. [57] His companion condones the detective's willingness to bend the truth (or break the law) on behalf of a client—lying to the police, concealing evidence or breaking into houses—when he feels it morally justifiable.

Before there were TV shows like CSI, Profiler, and Criminal Minds, there was EO Heinrich who established and created a number of remarkable forensic techniques during the 20s and 30s. A true Renaissance man, Heinrich was able to extrapolate how botany, geology, and entomology could be incorporated to solve crimes and predict deviant patterns. And while this book intelligently explains his process and explores some of his most famous cases, it fails to sustain reader interest by needlessly digressing into Heinrich's obsession with his finances and a writing style that becomes a tedious turnoff..
