| Abstract: | Detective stories are exhilarating. There’s no argument against it. The recent resurgence in Sherlock Holmes’ popularity peaked with TV programmes like Sherlock and Elementary. However, the problem with these stories, some might say, is that they are quite adept at stretching the truth when it comes to certain practices in forensic science and cybersecurity. If you are one of those people looking for a fictional detective story with solid roots in reality, look no further than Newton and the Counterfeiter: The Unknown Detective Career of the World’s Greatest Scientist by author and documentary-maker Thomas Levenson. |
