Description
"In God's name, what does it mean?"
"It means murder..."
When Miss Mary Morstan calls on 221B Baker Street, the "utterly inexplicable" story she tells stirs the heart of Dr. John Watson - and rouses his friend Sherlock Holmes from his self-induced lethargy.
For who else but London's only unofficial consulting detective could possibly solve the mystery of the disappearing Army officer, the one-legged man, his barefoot accomplice, the missing treasure-chest, and... the "sign of the four"?
This atmospheric graphic novel adaptation by Ian Edginton and I.N.J. Culbard - the team behind this series' acclaimed The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Sign of the Four and The Valley of Fear - will keep you guessing.
