The Sign of Four by Arthur Conan Doyle
৳ 220.00 – ৳ 300.00
In the story, Sherlock Holmes and the smitten Dr. John Watson try to defeat a peg-legged man and his dwarf assistant while hunting for a fabled treasure. It was originally serialized in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine as The Sign of the Four, but collected in a single volume under the title The Sign of Four.
As a dense yellow fog swirls through the streets of London, a deep melancholy has descended on Sherlock Holmes, who sits in a cocaine-induced haze at 221B Baker Street. His mood is only lifted by a visit from a beautiful but distressed young woman – Mary Morstan, whose father vanished ten years before. Four years later she began to receive an exquisite gift every year: a large, lustrous pearl. Now she has had an intriguing invitation to meet her unknown benefactor and urges Holmes and Watson to accompany her. And in the ensuing investigation – which involves a wronged woman, a stolen hoard of Indian treasure, a wooden-legged ruffian, a helpful dog and a love affair – even the jaded Holmes is moved to exclaim, ‘Isn’t it gorgeous!’
