About
The gripping story of the sensational, real-life case in which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle found himself playing detective-based on Julian Barnes's Booker Prize-nominated novel.
In 1903, Birmingham solicitor George Edalji was found guilty of a terrible crime and sentenced to seven years' imprisonment. Desperate to prove his innocence, he recruited Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of “Sherlock Holmes”, to help solve his mysterious case and win him a pardon.
As absorbing as any “Sherlock Holmes” mystery, Arthur & George also raises many questions about guilt and innocence, identity, nationality and race.
