A Lifelong Obsession with Holmes...

Long before The Great Murder Mystery, a young orchestral conductor travelled the world with two constant companions: Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. Tucked into his bag was a little red book, offering an escape into the familiar, endlessly fascinating world of 221B Baker Street.
