Arthur Conan Doyle's second Sherlock Holmes novel is both a detective story and an imperial romance. Ostensibly the story of Mary Morstan, a beautiful young woman enlisting the help of Holmes to find her vanished father and solve the mystery of her receipt of a perfect pearl on the same date each year, it gradually uncovers a tale of treachery and human greed. The action audaciously ranges from penal settlements on the Andaman Islands to the suburban comfort of South London, and from the opium-fuelled violence of Agra Fort during the Indian 'Mutiny' to the cocaine-induced contemplation of Holmes' own Baker Street.This Broadview Edition places Doyle's tale in the cultural, political, and social contexts of late nineteenth-century colonialism and imperialism. The appendices provide a wealth of relevant extracts from hard-to-find sources, including official reports, memoirs, newspaper editorials, and anthropological studies.

In London a dense, yellow fog swirls through the streets. At 221B Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes sits in a cocaine-induced haze, deeply melancholic. His mood lifts when a young woman, Mary Morstan, visits regarding her father who had vanished ten years before. Four years later she began receiving a large, lustrous pearl every year. Now she has had an invitation to meet her unknown benefactor. She asks Holmes and Watson to accompany her, little knowing that others stalk London's fog-enshrouded streets: a one-legged ruffian with revenge on his mind, and his companion who places no value on human life...
