Jerome Caminada was a legendary policeman and real life Victorian super-sleuth. A master of disguise with a keen eye for detail and ingenious methods of detection, Caminada tracked notorious criminals through the seedy streets of Manchester's underworld, from pickpockets to poisoners, unscrupulous con artists to cold blooded murderers. In this first full length biography of his life, Caminada's compelling story bears all the hallmarks of Arthur Conan Doyle and establishes this indefatigable investigator as one of the most formidable detectives of the Victorian era and 'The Real Sherlock Holmes'. 16 pages of plates
