A French translation of The Sign of the Four. A young governess who receives a pearl each year from an unknown sender asks Holmes and Watson to come with her to a mysterious meeting, and the case leads back to a treasure taken in India. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
