The Sign of the Four

When Miss Mary Morstan arrives at Baker Street with a mysterious plea, she brings with her a case that will awaken the world's only unofficial consulting detective from his profound lethargy. The Sign of the Four plunges you straight into a labyrinthine Victorian mystery paved with annual deliveries of lustrous pearls, a missing military officer, and a fabulous lost treasure from India.

As the brilliantly erratic Sherlock Holmes and his steadfast companion Dr. Watson trace clues through London's fog-choked streets to the bizarrely decorated Pondicherry Lodge, they uncover a chilling locked-room murder. Beside the twisted victim lies a cryptic note bearing a single, terrifying phrase: The sign of the four.

Written by James Harvey, this atmospheric tale combines the thrill of a relentless chase with the intricate, cold logic of masterful deduction. Follow the tracks of a wooden-legged man and his enigmatic associate as Holmes navigates poisoned thorns, midnight riverboat pursuits, and the darkest corners of human greed.
