About the Author

Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) began writing stories while waiting for patients in his medical practice. His greatest creation, Sherlock Holmes (partly based on the character of his old university teacher), first came to the attention of the public in 1886 with the publication of A Study in Scarlet.

Sidney Paget (1860-1908) was a popular British illustrator, best known for his illustrations that accompanied Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories in The Strand magazine.

Martin Edwards is recognized as one of Britain's most exciting crime writers and has created two highly successful crime series as well as authored some 40 crime shorts. Martin is a member of the Murder Squad collective of crime writers and is chairman of the nominations sub-committee for the CWA Diamond Dagger, crime writing's most prestigious award.
