| Summary | Text | In this reflective essay, ex–Detective Inspector John Sweeney contrasts Sherlock Holmes's brilliant fictional methods with the limitations and realities of official police work, arguing that real investigations are constrained by law, accident, and human unpredictability. Through illustrative cases, he contends that while Holmes fascinates as art, real detection depends less on theory than on patience, procedure, and often sheer chance. |
