The Case of Oscar Slater is a true crime book written by Arthur Conan Doyle in 1912. The book is based on the real-life case of Oscar Slater, a German Jew who was wrongfully convicted of the murder of Marion Gilchrist in Glasgow, Scotland in 1908. Doyle, who was known for creating the famous detective Sherlock Holmes, became involved in the case after Slater's conviction and subsequent appeal. The book provides a detailed account of the investigation, trial, and appeal, as well as Doyle's own efforts to prove Slater's innocence. Doyle's writing style is clear and concise, and he presents the facts of the case in a logical and compelling manner. He also provides insight into the social and political climate of the time, which played a significant role in Slater's conviction. Overall, The Case of Oscar Slater is a thought-provoking and engaging book that sheds light on an important case in Scottish legal history. It is a must-read for true crime enthusiasts and fans of Arthur Conan Doyle's work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
