About The Scientific Sherlock Holmes: Cracking the Case with Science and Forensics

La ciencia de Sherlock Holmes, de Jim O’Brien, nos ensena como descifrar casos con ciencia y medicina forense. Admiramos a Sherlock Holmes por ser el mas astuto de los detectives pero, !elemental, querido lector!: no solo era inteligente, sabia mucho de ciencia… Pocos personajes de la literatura son mas reconocidos universalmente que Sherlock Holmes, el detective surgido de la imaginacion de Arthur Conan Doyle. Cautivados por sus poderes de observacion y deduccion, muchos lectores pasan por alto el uso que Holmes hacia de la ciencia para resolver sus casos. Remediar semejante limitacion, al mismo tiempo que introduce a los lectores en los fundamentos cientificos de las tecnicas forenses, es el proposito de este libro. Asi, y tras introducir a los principales personajes del mundo de Holmes – Watson y Moriarty, en especial -, James F. O’Brien, un distinguido quimico, desentrana los conocimientos cientificos de Holmes, especialmente los quimicos, materia en la que sobresalio. Analiza, por ejemplo, venenos como el monoxido de carbono, cloroformo y acido prusico (el nombre historico del acido cianhidrico), y muestra que Sherlock Holmes fue un pionero de la ciencia forense, utilizando las huellas dactilares mucho antes de que Scotland Yard adoptase este metodo. Consciente de que la realidad no se puede encapsular en la literatura, O’Brien tambien incluye descripciones de casos reales, en dominios como el analisis grafologico, explicando como se utilizo para capturar al denominado “asesino del Zodiaco” de Nueva York y para determinar el responsable del secuestro (1932) y posterior asesinato del hijo del aviador Charles Lindbergh.
