September 1888. A twenty-nine-year-old Arthur Conan Doyle practices medicine by day and writes at night. His first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet, although gaining critical and popular success, has only netted him twenty-five pounds. Embittered by the experience, he vows never to write another "crime story." Then a messenger arrives with a mysterious summons from former Prime Minister William Gladstone, asking him to come to London immediately. Once there, he is offered one month's employment to assist the Metropolitan Police as a "consultant" in their hunt for the serial killer soon to be known as Jack the Ripper. Doyle agrees on the stipulation his old professor of surgery, Professor Joseph Bell--Doyle's inspiration for Sherlock Holmes--agrees to work with him. Bell agrees, and soon the two are joined by Miss Margaret Harkness, an author residing in the East End who knows how to use a Derringer and serves as their guide and companion. Pursuing leads through the dank alleys and courtyards of Whitechapel, they come upon the body of a savagely murdered fifth victim. Soon it becomes clear that the hunters have become the hunted when a knife-wielding figure approaches"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "Physician Arthur Conan Doyle takes a break from his practice to assist London police in tracking down Jack the Ripper"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Doyle, Arthur Conan, $d 1859-1930 $v Fiction. 600 00 $a Jack, $c the Ripper $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Physicians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Serial murderers $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Mysteries. 941 $a 8 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409032110.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305015042.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010020631.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060703.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190402023033.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190226015354.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20190226010529.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20181102011318.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AA593468DE6411E8A1A4695297128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
