  In this quick-hitting thriller set in Baltimore, during the waning years of the Cold War, Lussi Sim, a Norwegian physician, is the medical director of a newborn intensive care unit. 
  																			 
  Lussi had practiced pediatrics near her parents in Oslo until her father suffered a stroke. Growing up, Lussi experienced chronic mental trauma in the self-assigned role of her mother’s bodyguard. Ironically, her father’s stroke removed the physical threat to her mother and enabled Lussi to pursue her long-suppressed goal to train as a newborn intensive care subspecialist in the United States. 
  An excellent physician, Lussi copes with the stress of treating sick infants by entering the “rescuer” role she adopted to protect her mother. However, her fight v. flight response to threat defaults to the fight mode and she frequently fails to control her anger when negotiating with hospital managers she believes value profit over optimal patient care. 
  Stumbling upon a deadly medical conspiracy, evolving from a US government-approved financial agreement between the CIA and the Saudi Royal family, Lussi must now use her well-honed fighting instincts to overcome lethal obstacles, rescue victims, and bring the perpetrators to justice.

  'How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?'
  
  Enthralling, fast-paced and undeniably clever, The Sign of Four is Arthur Conan Doyle's second novel to star the iconic and unparalleled consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes.
  
  When Miss Mary Morstan receives a series of mysterious gifts and a cryptic note, ten years after her father's sudden disappearance, she's at a loss of where to turn. Enter detective Sherlock Holmes and his trusted companion Dr John Watson, determined to solve the case. With nothing but a cryptic clue – a map of a fortress labelled as 'The Sign of Four' – Holmes is drawn into a complicated labyrinth of stolen treasure, secret pacts and profound betrayal. Racing against the clock, he is led to the opium dens of London and a decades-old conspiracy born within colonial India, unveiling a case that tests both his intellect and the heart of right-hand man. Dark and richly atmospheric, The Sign of Four blends deduction and danger into Holmes's most perilous exploits yet.
  Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 – 1930) was a Scottish writer and physician. Although he also had an affinity to writing fantasy and science fiction, he is most famous for creating the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. His crime fiction is still widely read, adapted and studied to this day.
