A theory about how Doyle hid "easter eggs" in his works, from literary to contemporary figures. Is Irene Adler really George Sand? Could Friedrich Nietzsche really be Professor Moriarty? This is a study of Doyle's work, his phrases and the clues a master allegorist placed inside stories to tell the real mystery of Sherlock Holmes.
