About this book
When a young woman turns to Sherlock Holmes over a puzzling disappearance and a cryptic token, he and Dr. Watson are plunged into a compact, relentless mystery that reaches from London's fogbound streets to the shadowy edges of empire. Doyle propels his sleuths through twisting clues, breathless chases along the Thames, and encounters with ruthless pursuers and tangled loyalties, all while Holmes deploys his famous logic with cold precision. The Sign of the Four pairs taut plotting and vivid atmosphere with a surprising personal note for Watson, making this sharp, fast-paced investigation as emotionally resonant as it is suspenseful.
