  The Sherlock Holmes Collection -...

  Arthur Conan Doyle

  Sherlock Holmes was created by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Referring to himself as a "consulting detective" in the stories, Holmes is known for his proficiency with observation, deduction, forensic science, and logical reasoning that borders on the fantastic, which he employs when investigating cases for a wide variety of clients, including Scotland Yard. 
   
  Holmes first appeared in print in 1887's A Study in Scarlet, the character's popularity became widespread with the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine, beginning with "A Scandal in Bohemia" in 1891; additional tales appeared from then until 1927, eventually totaling four novels and 56 short stories. All but one are set in the Victorian or Edwardian eras, between about 1880 and 1914. Most are narrated by the character of Holmes's friend and biographer Dr. John H. Watson, who usually accompanies Holmes during his investigations and often shares quarters with him at the address of 221B Baker Street, London, where many of the stories begin. 
   
  Though not the first fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes is arguably the best known. By the 1990s there were already over 25,000 stage adaptations, films, television productions, and publications featuring the detective, and Guinness World Records lists him as the most portrayed literary human character in film and television history. Holmes's popularity and fame are such that many have believed him to be not a fictional character but a real individual; numerous literary and fan societies have been founded on this pretense. Avid readers of the Holmes stories helped create the modern practice of fandom.  
   
  Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle KStJ DL was a British writer and physician.

  "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
  
  A decade after her father mysteriously vanished in London, Mary Morstan receives a strange summons and a gift of priceless pearls. She turns to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson for help, leading them into a labyrinthine plot involving a secret pact made in India, a blood-stained treasure map, and a locked-room murder committed with a poisoned dart.
  
  A High-Stakes Pursuit: The Sign of the Four showcases the darker, more restless side of Holmes's genius. To solve the riddle of the "Four," he must lead Watson and the Baker Street Irregulars from the suburban villas of London to a pulse-pounding steamboat chase down the River Thames. Along the way, the novel explores themes of greed, betrayal, and the lingering shadows of colonial history.
  
  The Heart of the Legend: This novel is pivotal for the series, introducing the woman who would become Mrs. Watson and providing the first deep look into Holmes's reliance on chemical stimulants to battle the "dull routine of existence." It is a masterclass in atmosphere and pacing, blending the gritty realism of Victorian forensics with the exotic allure of an Eastern mystery.
  
  Love, loyalty, and a treasure that brings only ruin. Purchase "The Sign of the Four" today and experience the most exotic mystery in the Holmes collection.
