The Sign of Four
by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

I have always been a Sherlock Holmes fanatic. I’d devour the stories as a child and I’ve even written books about the street kids who help him solve crimes, a mark of my obsession. This novel about a jewel theft is phenomenally exciting with a fantastic climax. Holmes is the ultimate crime-solver.
