"Neljän merkit" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a collection of stories featuring Sherlock Holmes, written in the late 19th century. This work continues the literary journey of the iconic detective, showcasing his unparalleled skills in observation and deduction alongside his faithful companion, Dr. Watson. The overarching theme revolves around the mystery and adventures that Holly and Watson engage in, often involving elements of crime, intrigue, and human nature. The opening of the narrative sets a contemplative tone as it unveils the inner struggles of Dr. John Watson regarding his friend Holmes's use of cocaine. As Watson grapples with his concern for Holmes’s health, Holmes expresses his disdain for the mundane and his need for mental stimulation, emphasizing his unique profession as a private consulting detective. This discussion precedes the arrival of Miss Mary Morstan, who shares her distressing tale of her missing father and mysterious annual gifts of pearls, which leads the characters to an unknown adventure that is bound to unravel secrets and confrontations.
