"De Agra-Schat" (The Sign of Four) by Arthur Conan Doyle is a detective novel written in the late 19th century. The story features the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. John Watson as they embroil themselves in a mysterious case involving hidden treasures and long-lost connections. The novel delves into themes of obsession, loyalty, and the quest for justice, showcasing Holmes's unique deductive skills. The beginning of the novel sets the stage with an intense glimpse into Sherlock Holmes's character and his unusual habits, specifically his use of cocaine as a means to stimulate his mind. As Dr. Watson expresses concern over Holmes's drug use, the narrative quickly transitions to the entrance of Miss Mary Morstan, who seeks Holmes’s help regarding her missing father and a series of valuable pearls she has been receiving annually. This introduction sparks intrigue as it leads to various threads connecting to her father's mysterious past, involving a long-buried treasure, deceit, and a promise of justice, thus propelling the plot into deeper layers of mystery.
