Arthur Conan DoyleVerified

Arthur Conan Doyle's early Sherlock Holmes stories showcase a detective operating without fetishization of science—instead using observation, psychology, and logic to expose the grotesque crimes hiding behind Victorian respectability. Each case is a locked room where rationality itself becomes the key.
