Revised edition with the original text by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and a genuine illustration from the first edition.
When Mary Marston receives a letter inviting her to a sinister meeting, she knows there's something terribly wrong. For six years, an anonymous benefactor has been sending her a large lustrous pearl, but why meet now? Especially after the disappearance of her father, Captain Arthur Marston.
Mary immediately seeks out the services of Sherlock Holmes who must solve the ongoing mystery before things turn murderous. But when Holmes and his faithful sidekick, Watson, go to the meeting in her place they immediately embark on a dark and mysterious adventure involving a one-legged ruffian, a hidden treasure, deadly poison darts, and a thrilling race along the river Thames. The stakes have never been higher!
The Sign of the Four is a masterfully written murder mystery filled with intelligent dialogue and notable characters. It also introduces Mary Marston, Watson's future wife. If you enjoy a well written whodunnit mystery with witty dialogue and strong, likeable characters, then Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson fit the bill.
