Shadows and Sleuths
After Sherlock’s return from the dead, Doyle became an evangelist for spiritualism. His star declined after a public spat, whereas Sherlock Holmes found a life beyond his author.
Lucy investigates the return of Sherlock and finds that the darkness of the later stories mirrored the reality of Doyle’s life. After the loss of his eldest son, he became an evangelist for spiritualism. His star declined after a public spat with the magician Houdini. Sherlock Holmes, in contrast, found a life beyond his author on stage and screen.
