Description
This case analysis provides a new perspective on the events, questioning the presumption of George Edalji’s entire innocence.
Based on the results of a modern forensic linguistic analysis, the author has investigated many unanswered questions in the case and found unusual answers.
If you are seeking a book about racism, colonialism, or xenophobia, this book is not for you. You will also be disappointed if you are looking for a book about police incompetence or the author Arthur Conan Doyle.
This analysis focuses on the Edalji family, particularly George Ernest Thompson Edalji, and the events of that time. Rose H. Schmollek’s result of years of research is not an easy or casual read.
But if you are intrigued by new aspects of an old criminal case and open to fresh approaches and unconventional perspectives, this book will surprise you.
You can buy the case analysis either as a password-protected PDF or as a (dos-à-dos) hand-bound printed book in an unusual book box. Each printed book is numbered and comes with your personalized Ex Libris. Because of the hand-manufacturing process, each book is slightly different and unique, and it will grace your bookshelf.
The design of the book and its box was carefully chosen. The box opens atypically diagonally. The endpapers are combined differently than our reading habits are used to, and they force our brains to think differently. The individual parts (book, endnotes and the bookplate) reveal an overall image, held together by a bee (for good reasons). Red represents blood, black printer’s ink, and gold represents the Doylian glamour of this crime case. The turquoise stone on the bee is a reminiscence of the bound Sherlock Holmes first editions of the Strand magazine in the 1890s.
