Within those years was crowded a variety of activity and creative work that made him an international figure. He was educated at Stonyhurst, and later studied medicine at Edinburgh University, where the methods of diagnosis of one of the professors provided the idea for the methods of deduction used by Sherlock Holmes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHe set up as a doctor at Southsea and it was while waiting for patients that he began to write. His growing success as an author enabled him to give up his practice and turn his attention to other subjects. He was a passionate advocate of many causes, ranging from divorce law reform and the Channel Tunnel to the issuing of inflatable lifejackets to sailors. He also campaigned to prove the innocence of individuals, and his work on the Edjalji case was instrumental in the introduction of the Court of Criminal Appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thomas Nelson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690776133906,"sku":"9781400351626","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_cc39c07f-8a99-43ed-8cb9-d63cf6de3f1f.jpg?v=1761747428","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-adventures-of-sherlock-holmes-painted-editions-9781400351626","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
