The Sign of Four is one of Sherlock Holmes's great adventures, a tale of 'an injured lady, half a million in treasure, a black cannibal, and a wooden-legged ruffian'.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was born in Edinburgh where he qualified as a doctor, but it was his writing which brought him fame, with the creation of Sherlock Holmes, the first scientific detective. He was also a convert to spiritualism and a social reformer who used his investigative skills to prove the innocence of individuals.
