Arthur Conan Doyle had managed to finally rid himself of Sherlock Holmes. But who was Arthur without Sherlock, and could he become the hero of his own story?

Lucy explores Doyle鈥檚 desire to distance himself from Sherlock. From the delights of the ski slopes to the horrors of the Boer War, she reveals how far Doyle went to make himself the hero of his own story - including taking on the role of detective himself in one of the most important legal cases of the 20th century.
