"Das Zeichen der Vier" ist der zweite Sherlock-Holmes-Roman von Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Sherlock Holmes und Dr. Watson werden von Miss Mary Morstan beauftragt, bei der Suche nach ihrem verschollenen Vater zu helfen. Dieser war Offizier in Indien und verschwand vor zehn Jahren spurlos bei seiner Rückkehr nach England.
Ein anonymer Brief bringt die drei auf die Spur von Thaddäus Scholto, dessen Vater mit dem Gesuchten befreundet war und zusammen mit ihm in Indien in derselben Kompanie gedient hat. Scholto berichtet, dass die beiden Männer einen Schatz aus Indien mitgebracht hätten, und dass er und sein Bruder den Schatz einst entdeckt hätten.
Kurz darauf wird der Bruder unter mysteriösen Umständen ermordet und der Schatz gestohlen. Thaddäus Scholto wird der Tat verdächtigt und festgenommen. Da Sherlock Holmes an dessen Unschuld glaubt und von den rätselhaften Umständen der Sache fasziniert ist, nimmt er sich des Falles an. (Zusammenfassung von Wikipedia und Karlsson.)
