Daniel Cortes just sent me this new portrait depicting Inspector Lestrade. In our story Lestrade is not a bumbling idiot, but he's no match for Holmes either. Still, Holmes likes Lestrade and relays the following to Watson:
“We must give him some credit, Watson; he is meticulous in his pursuit of trivial facts, and though he very seldom draws correct conclusions in any save the most childishly straightforward cases, at least he saves us the trouble of having to gather every scrap of trivia for ourselves. Occasionally he has stumbled upon some vital shred of information, to which he himself attributed little or no importance, but which served to unlock an entire case for me. Yes, our dear Lestrade has his uses now and again.”
