As strange events unfold, including ghostly apparitions and unexplained noises, West investigates the general’s past and uncovers a dark secret tied to his time in India. Blending mystery, adventure, and the supernatural, The Mystery of Cloomber is an atmospheric and gripping novel that showcases Doyle’s storytelling abilities beyond his Sherlock Holmes works. |

|
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a British writer, physician, and creator of the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, where he began writing stories in his spare time. Doyle gained worldwide fame with A Study in Scarlet (1887), the first novel featuring Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson. His detective stories, including The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Hound of the Baskervilles, became some of the most influential works in crime fiction. Beyond Holmes, Doyle wrote historical novels, science fiction, and supernatural tales. He was also deeply involved in spiritualism later in life. Despite trying to move beyond his detective stories, Holmes remains his most enduring legacy, shaping modern mystery fiction. |
