The best introduction to James Fitzjames is William Battersby‘s James Fitzjames: The Mystery Man of the Franklin Expedition (2010).
This is also currently the only Fitzjames biography in existence (if we’re not counting Sir Clements Markham’s 1899 effort, which has not been published and is perhaps better described as the original Fitzjames fanfiction).
