Sir Arthur Conan Doyle schiep met Sherlock Holmes het karakter van de beroemdste en meest vernuftige detective aller tijden. De spanning, de intriges en de vaart waarmee de verhalen verteld worden, hebben niets aan zeggingskracht ingeboet. Conan Doyle publiceerde de Sherlock Holmes-verhalen aanvankelijk in tijdschriften. De vele avonturen zijn nu samengebracht in een 12-delige serie: De complete avonturen van Sherlock Holmes.
Dit eerste deel bevat de romans: Een studie in rood en Het teken van de vier.

About the author

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.
