Detective Caminada's Casebook: Memoirs of Manchester's Sherlock Holmes

by Jerome Caminada, Angela Buckley (Editor)

Detective Jerome Caminada was a Victorian super-sleuth and a real-life Sherlock Holmes. A master of disguise and an expert in deduction, he pursued ruthless criminals through the dangerous streets of nineteenth century Manchester’s underworld.

Detective Caminada’s biographer, Angela Buckley, presents this unique anthology of his most fascinating cases, including quack doctors, forgers and con artists. In the first volume of his memoirs, published in 1895, Detective Caminada recounted how he tackled anarchists, caught an escaped political prisoner and faced his nemesis in a deadly confrontation. Bearing all the hallmarks of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, this compelling collection is essential reading for all lovers of historical crime.

What’s better than romping through a good detective story & finding the baddies nabbed & put safely behind bars? Well, this book is better than any modern day fiction! Recounting his own memoirs, Angela Buckley has compiled Caminada’s notes to form a perfect tribute to a most exceptional man. I’ve been unable to put this down, so intriguing was each case & I’ll definitely be purchasing the author’s biography on this prominent Manchester detective.

Very interesting series of cases that Caminada worked, with surprising similarities showing how much as society has changed, it’s basically still the same.
