About the Author
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish writer and physician, best known for creating the detective Sherlock Holmes. Doyle's medical background influenced Holmes's character, who was known for his observational and deductive skills. Holmes, significantly inspired by Doyle's professor Joseph Bell, represents the archetypal detective, influencing numerous fictional detectives. Despite the success of Sherlock Holmes, Doyle found the character overwhelming and expressed the desire to focus on historical novels. However, public outcry led him to resurrect Holmes after initially killing off the character. Doyle also played a role in real-life justice by investigating and exonerating convicted men. In later years, driven by personal losses, he embraced spiritualism, believing in communication with the dead. Doyle embarked on psychic crusades worldwide, necessitating further writing to sustain his finances. He died on July 7, 1930, with his last words reportedly expressing admiration for his wife.
