Der har længe været stille i Baker Street 221B, og dr. John Watson har fortvivlet set til, mens hans gode ven og bofælle, Sherlock Holmes, er sunket ned i kedsomhed og brugen af kunstige stimulanser. Men endelig en dag lysner situationen: En smuk ung dame ved navn miss Morstan henvender sig med en højst besynderlig sag.Hendes far forsvandt under mystiske omstændigheder for ti år siden, kort efter sin hjemkomst fra Indien, og fire år senere begyndte hun hvert år at modtage en kostbar perle med posten – uden nogen forklaring. Nu har hun imidlertid modtaget et brev, hvor hun inviteres til at møde sin ukendte velgører.Holmes og Watson tilbyder at ledsage hende, og snart hvirvles de ind i en dramatisk og gruopvækkende historie om en gammel indisk skat, om mord, svig og hævn og om en mystisk pagt mellem fire mænd, hvis ildevarslende tegn dukker op igen og igen, efterhånden som mesterdetektiven og hans ven trænger længere ind i mysteriets dystre mørke.Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859-1930) var uddannet læge, men begyndte tidligt at skrive og forlod efterhånden lægegerningen helt til fordel for forfatterkarrieren. Doyle skrev i mange genrer – historiske romaner, science-fiction, eventyrromaner og nonfiktion – men det var historierne om mesterdetektiven Sherlock Holmes, der slog hans navn fast og blev hans eviggyldige bidrag til verdenslitteraturhistorien.
