Basu's account of how Arthur Conan Doyle set about trying to get a pardon and compensation for Edalji is in itself a fine piece of detective work. * The Times * Compulsive reading. The bizarre story of Conan Doyle as detective and champion of justice has all the hallmarks of Shrabani Basu’s genius. * A.N. Wilson * It nails the nastiness of a peculiarly English scandal. * The Spectator * A potent mix of racial injustice, Sherlockian mystery and Shrabani's signature storytelling. -- Lucy Worsley Compelling. * Prospect *
