Sherlock Holmes: The Biography by Nick Rennison

Written as if Holmes actually lived in the 19th/early 20th Century and was one of the most important men to the British Empire. By combining actual historical events (Jack the Ripper, Sudanese wars, Irish uprising etc) with Arthur Conan-Doyle's stories, Rennison creates a truly believable biography of arguably the world's greatest fictional character - as well as its finest consulting detective.
