Inspector Baynes

Inspector Baynes

Inspector Baynes of the Surrey force is a fictional character appearing in a short story with Sherlock Holmes (the famous detective) as the hero.

The story is a two-part series The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge , named (i) "The singular experience of Mr. John Scott Eccles", and (ii) "The Tiger of San Pedro".

Inspector Baynes is the only uniformed police officer to have matched Sherlock Holmes in investigative skills. In this story, the reader finds that even though both these people work in different lines, finally both of them are there when the dreaded criminal meets his end. Baynes had misled even Holmes as he used a method similar to one that Holmes often used when Baynes arrested the wrong man and gave inaccurate information to the press in order to lull the true criminal into a false sense of security. Holmes congratulated this Inspector, and believed that he would have many more chances in Scotland Yard.
