Frenchman Louis de Laval is the son of an exiled aristocrat, whose uncle is trying to persuade him to return to his native country to join Napoleon?s army. It soon becomes apparent however that his uncle has lured him back under false pretences, and Louis finds himself in considerable danger as he gets caught up in an intrigue which threatens the life of the emperor he has come to support. Full of treachery and double dealings, this is a thrilling short story from the ?Sherlock Holmes? author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a British author, best known as the creator of the world-famous detective Sherlock Holmes. Born in Edinburgh, he was educated in England and Austria before studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh. It was during his time at university that Doyle began writing short stories, submitting them to magazines and journals. His first Sherlock Holmes novel, ?A Study in Scarlet? was written in just three weeks and published in 1887 to favourable reviews, and more Sherlock adventures followed. By 1893, Doyle was growing tired of Sherlock and attempted to kill him off in the story ?The Final Problem?, but public outcry caused him to resurrect the famous detective. He featured in a total of 56 short stories and four novels along with his trusty sidekick Dr Watson and made Doyle one of the best-paid authors of the time. The stories have been adapted multiple times; most recently in the successful BBC series ?Sherlock? starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. Later literary works included the Professor Challenger series which began with ?The Lost World?, in which Challenger sets out to find evidence of prehistoric life. The book inspired numerous adaptations, including the films ?Jurassic Park? and ?The Lost World?. In later life Doyle became captivated by the world of spiritualism and the occult and published non-fiction works about his beliefs including ?The Coming of the Fairies?. Arthur Conan Doyle died at home in 1930.
