A dense yellow miasma swirls in the streets of London as Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson accompany a beautiful young woman to a sinister assignation.

For Mary Morstan has received several large pearls – one a year for the last six years – and now a mystery letter telling her she is a wronged woman. If she would seek justice she is to meet her unknown benefactor, bringing with her two companions.

But unbeknownst to them all, others stalk London’s fog-enshrouded streets: a one-legged ruffian with revenge on his mind – and his companion, who places no value on human life...

Review of 'Sign of Four' on 'Goodreads'

Happy New Year! I picked this one to start the year off, since I was so looking forward to seeing the new Sherlock episode on PBS last night--which did not disappoint. Anyway, this is the tale in which Dr. Watson meets his future wife and the rest of us are treated to a very intriguing story and mystery.

Bravo!
