Wagner explores this fascinating aspect of his career by showing how his investigations were grounded in the cutting-edge science of his day, especially the emerging field of forensics.... Utterly compelling.\"\"\u003cbr\u003e-Otto Penzler, member of the Baker Street Irregulars and proprietor of The Mysterious Bookshop\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\"E. J. Wagner demonstrates that without the work of Sherlock Holmes and his contemporaries, the CSI teams would be twiddling their collective thumbs. Her accounts of Victorian crimes make Watson's tales pale! Highly recommended for students of the Master Detective.\"\"\u003cbr\u003e--Leslie S.
