__TOC__

== In the Sherlock Holmes stories ==
[[File:The-strand-magazine-1904-05-p484-the-six-napoleons-illu.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Inspector Lestrade (on the left) by [[Sidney Paget]] (in [[The Adventure of the Six Napoleons]])]]

* Inspector of [[Scotland Yard]].

=== Description ===

* He was a lean, ferret-like man, furtive and sly-looking ([[BOSC]] {{refcanon|BOSC|182}}, [[STUD]] {{refcanon|STUD|534}}).
* He was a little sallow, rat-faced, dark-eyed fellow ([[STUD]] {{refcanon|STUD|277}}).
* He was a well-known detective ([[STUD]] {{refcanon|STUD|329}}).
* He and [[Tobias Gregson|Gregson]] are the pick of a bad lot. They are both quick and energetic, but conventional - shockingly so. They have their knives into one another, too. They are as jealous as a pair of professional beauties ([[STUD]] {{refcanon|STUD|448}}).
* He was the best of the professionals ([[HOUN]] {{refcanon|HOUN|3296}}).
* He didn't add imagination to his other great qualities ([[NORW]] {{refcanon|NORW|189}}).
* He was absolutely devoid of reason, but he was as tenacious as a bull-dog when he once understood what he had to do, and indeed it was just this tenacity which has brought him to the top at [[Scotland Yard]] ([[CARD]] {{refcanon|CARD|285}}).

=== His cases ===

* [[Scotland Yard]] gave him the following cases:
** [[BRUC|The Cadogan West affair]] ([[BRUC]]).
** [[NORW|The Oldacre affair]] ([[NORW]]).
** [[SECO|The Eduardo Lucas affair]] ([[SECO]]).
** [[NOBL|The Lord St. Simon affair]] ([[NOBL]]).
** [[The Bogus Laundry Affair]] ([[:category:Untold Stories|Untold Story]], [[CARD]]).
* While the [[Sherlock Holmes]] [[hiatus]], Lestrade failed on 3 cases, however he solved the [[Moseley case]] ([[EMPT]]).
* He was hired by [[James McCarthy]] to investigate on the [[BOSC|Boscombe Valley affair]] ([[BOSC]]).

=== Relationship with Sherlock Holmes ===

* When [[Tobias Gregson|Gregson]], or Lestrade, or [[Athelney Jones]] are out of their depths — which, by the way, is their normal state — the matter was laid before Sherlock Holmes ([[SIGN]] {{refcanon|SIGN|40}}).
* He consulted [[Sherlock Holmes]] in the following affairs:
** [[STUD|The case of the murder of Enoch Drebber]] ([[STUD]]).
** [[CARD|The case of the murder of James Browner]] ([[CARD]]).
** [[SIXN|The destruction of the Napoleon busts]] ([[SIXN]]).
** [[BOSC|The case of the murder of Charles McCarthy]] ([[BOSC]]).
* He helped Holmes to find [[Killer Evans]] ([[3GAR]]).
* Holmes called Lestrade at the end of [[The Hound of the Baskervilles]] case ([[HOUN]]).
* Holmes visited Lestrade about [[The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax]] ([[LADY]]).
* Holmes mentioned him as "that imbecile Lestrade" ([[BOSC]]).
