The Sign of the Four
By Arthur Conan Doyle
Captain Arthur Morstan, father of Miss Mary Morstan, has been missing for ten years. Four years after his disappearance, his close friend from the India campaigns dies a natural death—but under strange circumstances. Six years later, Miss Morstan is contacted by a son of that friend. Miss Morstan, it seems, is soon to share a treasure, but to come into its possession, she must be accompanied by two strong, trustworthy men. Fortunately, two are available—famed “consulting detective” Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson. UNfortunately, another man dies (this time it is murder), and the treasure disappears. Left at the scene is a note with the words “The sign of the four”—the same words found on a paper in the missing captain’s desk.
