My friend Kelvin Jones, who has died aged 75, was a prolific writer on Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle.
He produced more than 20 works that dealt with both figures, including a trilogy about the sleuth entitled The Peculiar Persecution of Sherlock Holmes (2019) and a study of Conan Doyle’s interest in spiritualism, as well as his own crime novels and murder mysteries and a number of studies of folklore.
