Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Crippen

- The North London Cellar murder (the 'crime of the century') as recorded by Dr. John H. Watson

Om Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Crippen

Hawley Harvey Crippen, an American doctor in London, 1910. Devoted to his wife, music-hall performer Belle Elmore. He said she left him to go to her lover in America. If she did, why did she not send a single word to her host of friends? And why could they find no record of her taking a ship? Then Dr. Crippen announces her death in California. But when police from New Scotland Yard came calling, he changed his story: "So far as I know, she did not die, but is still alive." And then he fled, with his younger mistress dressed as a boy. What did Sherlock Holmes and the police find in the tiny coal cellar at Crippen's North London home? How was Crippen tracked down, in a 3,000-mile sea-chase across the Atlantic to Canada? And why did Chief Inspector Walter Dew call it all "the crime of the century"?
