The Devil and Sherlock Holmes: Tales of Murder, Madness, and Obsession (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780307275905)

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon--and one of the most gifted reporters and storytellers of his generation--comes a "gripping" (The Miami Herald), "hilarious" (Entertainment Weekly) collection of true crime mysteries about people whose obsessions propel them into unfathomable and often deadly circumstances.

Whether David Grann is investigating a mysterious murder, tracking a chameleon-like con artist, or hunting an elusive giant squid, he has proven to be a superb storyteller. In The Devil and Sherlock Holmes, Grann takes the reader around the world, revealing a gallery of rogues and heroes with their own particular fixations who show that truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

Look for David Grann's new book, The Wager, coming in April 2023!
