Gentleman-cambrioleur ! Le titre sied plutôt à Arsène Lupin. Mais à l'occasion, Sherlock Holmes, soi-même, ne dédaigne pas s'adonner à la cambriole. Monte-en-l'air de première bourre, s'il se munit de sa pince-monseigneur, c'est pour pénétrer chez Milverton, le roi des maîtres chanteurs. Le procédé est osé mais l'acte justifié dès lors que l'odieux personnage détient des lettres compromettantes sur la belle Lady Eva. Chevaleresque, Holmes ? Oui. Toujours prêt à secourir toutes celles qui l'arrachent à la banalité de l'existence. Et quand elles posent une énigme comme Violette, cette jeune femme solitaire, harcelée sur la lande de Charlington par un mystérieux cycliste, Sherlock jubile...

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a Scottish writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction.

Doyle was a prolific writer. In addition to the Holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger, and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the brigantine Mary Celeste, found drifting at sea with no crew member aboard.
