More about the book

This extensively researched performance biography is an analysis of the work of a man in transition from working actor to multimedia star ... It looks at what makes this actor so well suited to play such a daring interpretation of one of popular culture's most iconic characters, Sherlock Holmes, and how "Sherlock" has been in turn so well suited to propel Cumberbatch toward the greater global fame he has achieved. -- Cover, page 4
