ALSO AMELIA HIS WIFE
DIED AUG. 23RD 1928, AGED 73 YEARS'
Police officer Jerome Caminada (1844–1914) has been called the Manchester Sherlock Holmes by some, and he was the city's first CID superindendent. He published a few books on his experiences – the most notable being Twenty-Five Years of Detective Life (1895) – and some of his work was published posthumously. This year of course marks the centenary of his death.
