The Last and Highest Court of Appeal is Published!
My latest nonfiction book, The Last and Highest Court of Appeal: The Dramatizations of the George Edalji Case and the Detective Work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has just been published in paperback! If you’re interested in a fascinating true crime case that changed the British legal system forever, as well as my thoughts on how dramatizations of the case have distorted some uncomfortable truths about society; respected institutions; and how easily politicians, artists, writers, and laypeople have embraced dodgy theories about some disturbing crimes. It’s great for fans of true crime and people interested in the life of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Please take a look!
