How has detective work evolved since the Victorian era? Which investigative principles would Sherlock Holmes recognise today? And how would Holmes fare in today’s world of undercover policing and organised crime? These questions and more will be answered by retired Detective Superintendent Neville Blackwood, author of new crime thriller Covert (2026). Neville will draw on his experience as a senior investigating officer in cases of homicide, serious and organised crime, human trafficking and undercover policing to explore whether Holmes’s methods have stood the test of time.
