George Edalji

Season 1 Episode 2 | 2m 00s

The public had wanted Arthur to channel his inner Sherlock for years. In 1908, he received another letter from a fan, who’d read The Hound of the Baskervilles while in prison. His name was George Edalji. George believed he’d been wrongly accused of a crime and thought Arthur Conan Doyle was the man to help.
