Summary

Robert Hagstrom, best-selling author of The Warren Buffett Way, delves into the techniques of some of the world's legendary sleuths--Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes; Edgar Allan Poe's Auguste Dupin; and G.K. Chesterton's Father Brown-to demonstrate that the same mental skills that characterize a good detective also define a good investor.
