About the author
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) var breskur rithöfundur og læknir, þekktastur fyrir að skapa hinn helgimynda spæjara Sherlock Holmes. Doyle, meistari glæpasagna, gjörbylti tegundinni með mikilli athygli sinni á smáatriðum, skörpum samræðum og flóknum leyndardómum. Auk Holmes-sagna sinna skrifaði Doyle sögulegar skáldsögur, vísindaskáldsögur og yfirnáttúrulegar sögur. Verk hans halda áfram að hafa áhrif á leynilögreglumenn og dægurmenningu.
