This edition of Sherlock Holmes, No. 2, The Sign Of The Four from Chewana Books offers the reader a distinct perspective on the classic tale with a look at:·Why the author wrote the book ·Who inspired the character of Sherlock Holmes ·Was Sherlock Holmes actually a real detective? ·How the book relates to then current events in Victorian London ·And more... Sherlock Holmes is probably the most famous detective in history-real or fictional. His powers of observation and deduction are legendary. His iconic image portrays the quintessential depiction of a detective. The Sign Of The Four is the second title in the Sherlock Holmes Series. Sherlock Holmes, along with his good friend Dr. Watson, are the premier dynamic duo in crime fiction and set the standard for aspiring detectives as well as mystery authors. In the book, Holmes and Watson investigate the disappearance of Miss Morstan's father and a mysterious treasure linked to a pact made in India. The story involves hidden treasure, a murder, and a perilous chase through India. It is a tale of greed, betrayal, and revenge involving a group called 'The Four," who had stolen a treasure and wanted to reclaim it. Holmes and Watson uncover the truth, leading to the eventual capture of the main thief. Quote from the book- "Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science, and should be treated in the same cold and unemotional manner," - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Sign Of The Four Interesting trivia tid-bit: "Elementary, my dear Watson," is perhaps the most well-known phrase of the Sherlock Holmes stories. The only problem is, that phrase never actually appears in any of the manuscripts written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Caveat; Holmes did often use the word "elementary" to describe his deductions and did address Watson as "my dear Watson," but he never combined the two into a single phrase.
