The following synopsis was previously posted on
Amazon.co.uk:
The first official guide to the BBC hit
series Sherlock.
Fans of Sherlock Holmes will already be familiar with The Great
Game - in which all characters and events in the novels are assumed
real and discussed accordingly. BBC hit Sherlock has brought Conan
Doyle's legendary detective to a whole new audience
and Sherlock: The Casebook is The
Great Game for the next generation. This is no ordinary
guide.
Each case is brought to life on the page and re-examined through
Dr Watson's blog, Inspector Lestrade's police reports, newspaper
articles about the crimes, Sherlock's detective notes and any other
surviving clues from the cases.
Interspersed amongst the evidence are exclusive interviews with
the stars of the show, Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman and
Andrew Scott, writers and co-creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat
and the production team on everything from writing the scripts and
bringing the characters to life on screen to set design and
production.
This is a multi-dimensional companion
to Sherlock and a glorious tribute to
the world-famous detective.
