Summary | A fictionalized account of an historic case that brought together the lives of two very different men. George Edjali is a solicitor of Indian/Scottish origin who has been found guilty of livestock and horse maimings and is sentenced to 7 years hard labor. Arthur Conan Doyle, famous as the creator of Sherlock Holmes, hears about the Edjali case and, believing it is a serious miscarriage of justice, is compelled to help him clear his name. |
