‘Down the Strand the lamps were but misty splotches of diffused light which threw a feeble circular glimmer upon the slimy pavement‘.
Whilst the seamy streets of London drown in a sea of smog, Sherlock Holmes sinks into a cocaine-induced melancholy, until Miss Mary Morstan presents him with a most intriguing case. A terrible death, an unknown benefactor, stolen treasure, and a secret pact between criminals stretching back to a mutiny-torn India, lead Holmes into an epic pursuit of the truth…
While susceptible Watson falls in love, The Sign of Four also entices the reader with vivid revelations of Holmes darker habits. as the two men once again tackle a case of baffling complexity. --back cover
