“What you do in this world is a matter of no consequence. The question is what can you make people believe you have done.”
― Arthur Conan Doyle, A Study in Scarlet
Arthur Conan Doyle, the British writer and physician, is renowned for his creation of the iconic character, Sherlock Holmes, making his stories a significant contribution to crime fiction.
Doyle's first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet, was published in Beeton's Christmas Annual in 1887. The series was then serialized in the prestigious Strand Magazine from 1891 onwards. In 1893, coinciding with his father's institutionalization, Doyle devised the death of the famous detective in The Final Problem. However, due to popular demand, Doyle revived Holmes in The Hound of the Baskervilles five years later and ultimately brought him back to life in The Empty House (1903), which was the first adventure in The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
