Arthur Conan Doyle "A Study in Scarlet"

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a Scottish physician and writer, most noted for his stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, first full-length novel being “A Study in Scarlet”. He was born 22 May 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland and died 7 July 1930 (aged 71).
