A man of reason and astute reflection, Sherlock Holmes brings order and answers to the mysteries woven by hidden identities, heinous acts, and crimes of passion and deceit. With his keen insight into human nature, Holmes is able to use his signature witty brand of intelligence, rationale, and clever observation to uncover the truth and bring his culprits to justice.

About the Author
A doctor by profession, Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) began writing short stories as a young medical student. After setting up his first practice, he took up writing again when business was slow. It was his second foray into literature, in 1887, that brought about the debut of Doyle's beloved character Sherlock Holmes.

I'm moving on to The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes! I'm a believer now!

C D gave rise to others like Agatha Christie, Boris Akunin..
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had a point when he said:
“Obsession with the supernatural has been the ruin of many an exceptional intellect.” A great detective mystery writer.
