I en ny biografi hävdas att en polisdetektiv i Manchester, vid namn Jerome Caminada, var förebild till Sherlock Holmes: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/10700558/Has-the-real-Sherlock-Holmes-been-deduced.html "A biography of Caminada out this month reveals a series of striking similarities between him and the fictional character, in terms of their unorthodox methods and character. It also establishes strong echoes between the real detectives cases and plot lines used by Doyle. The author, Angela Buckley, has even established that Caminadas casework involved tackling an alluring and talented criminal, similar to Irene Adler, and that the detective even had a Moriarty-like nemesis who plagued him over the course of several cases until a final, dramatic confrontation. Mrs Buckley said: Caminada became a national figure at just the time that Sherlock Holmes was being created. There are so many parallels that it is clear Doyle was using parts of this real character for his." --Ahrvid Ps.
