""In this fascinating new book Bernd Stiegler gathers a wealth of material to paint the portrait of Conan Doyle as a writer and doctor, a spiritualist and political activist. His study tells a gripping story; it explores the links between science and superstition, between colonialism and collective identity, loss and mourning in ways which deeply resonate with our current concerns."" -Carolin Duttlinger, University of Oxford
