Inspector Caminada

[Beowulf]

New book out about this Inspector, Jerome Caminada who had amazing deductive reasoning powers and is supposed to be the actual inspiration for Sherlock Holmes.

He did solve a case with very little to go on in under 3 weeks. The Manchester Cab Murder.

I'm wondering though this guy was in Manchester surely, living at the time of the greatest mystery for the police, JTR, he had some thoughts? I'm wondering if anyone has searched into any info on him for those, be very interesting to see his take on it. He must've had friends in London on the force he shared thoughts with.

Anyone ever looked into this Inspector regarding JTR?

Hi Beowulf.
I thought it was common knowledge who the inspiration for Sherlock Holmes was.
