One foggy afternoon, out of work Sherlock Holmes is busy revealing his philosophy of life to Dr. Watson and Mrs. Hudson, the land lady. They are interrupted by the arrival of a Miss Mary Morstan, a petit, young but distressed woman, who has come to Holmes for help. She tells Holmes that her father on his way home from India disappeared in London some ten years ago. Four years after his disappearance she started receiving exquisite pearls from an unknown benefactor. Now the benefactor wanted to meet her. Revolving around a whopping Agra treasure The Sign of the Four is an intriguing story of revenge set in India and Great Britain of the late nineteenth century. The deeper Sherlock Holmes digs in, the more harrowing it becomes. A thrill ride till the end, it also portrays a rare Dr. Watson who falls head over heels for Miss Morstan and works diligently alongside Holmes to solve the mystery.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was born in Edinburgh, Scotland from where he did his graduation in medicine in 1881. He had started writing and publishing short stories to some acclaim during his student life but it was after the publication of A Study in Scarlet, his first Sherlock Holmes work that he became widely famous. Arguably the best crime fiction character ever, Sherlock Holmes practically made Doyle immortal as a writer. Featuring Holmes he wrote 4 novels and 56 short stories. Doyle was a prolific writer and in addition to his Holmes oeuvre he wrote many other novels and short stories. Among them The Lost World is another great work of fiction.
