HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. 'I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation. That is why I have chosen my own particular profession, or rather created it, for I am the only one in the world...'

In London, 1888, the razor-sharp detective skills of Sherlock Holmes are to be put to the test. Mary Morstan reports two seemingly unconnected and inexplicable events: the disappearance of her father, a British Indian Army Captain, and the arrival of pearls by post from an unknown sender.

Driven on by its complexity, Holmes and Watson slowly begin to unravel an intricate web of exotic treasure, secret pacts and mysterious deaths. One of only four novels featuring Sherlock Holmes and his trusty sidekick Watson, 'The Sign of the Four' will delight those who have been captivated by Arthur Conan Doyle's short stories.


HaperCollins 很高興為大家呈獻最受喜愛、不可或缺的系列經典。「我厭惡一成不變的例行公事，我追求欣喜萬分的愉悅感受。這也是為什麼我會選擇這個職業，或者說，這是我獨創的職業，因為這是世界獨一無二的……。」

1888 年於倫敦，擁有敏銳觀察力的偵探福爾摩斯將遭遇嚴峻的考驗；瑪莉摩爾斯頓通報了兩項看似毫無關係且無法解釋的事件：她擔任英籍印度陸軍上尉的父親失蹤，和一批來自匿名寄件人的珍珠。

兩事件的複雜度引起福爾摩斯和華生的興趣，他們逐步解開一連串難解的謎團 ──來自異國的珍寶、神秘的協議、離奇的死亡。《四簽名》是四部著名的福爾摩斯偵探小說之一，福爾摩斯和他的得力助手華生必定能吸引亞瑟柯南道爾短篇書迷的目光。
