The Sign of the Four

In this second installment, unlike the first, Study in Scarlet, the action and the investigations take place entirely in London - Miss Mary Morstan, years after the mysterious disappearance of her father, an infantry officer in Bombay, anonymously receives each year a great pearl in the mail, until one day he gets a letter with a blind date and decides to go to Sherlock Holmes - and includes a fast-paced river chase across the Thames. In The Sign of the Four, Doyle strictly follows the essential laws of gender established by Poe, which, according to Borges, involve an "enigmatic and, at first glance, insoluble crime", a "sedentary investigator who deciphers it through imagination and of logic ", and an" impersonal and somewhat fuzzy friend of the researcher "who tells everything.
