in Second Life since June.

The story is set in 1888. The Sign of the Four has a complex plot involving India, the Indian Rebellion of 1857, a stolen treasure, and a secret pact among four convicts ("the Four" of the title) and two corrupt prison guards. It presents the detective's drug habit and humanizes him in a way that had not been done in the preceding novel, A Study in Scarlet (1887). It also introduces Doctor Watson's future wife, Mary Morstan. Kayden Oconnell, John Morland, and Caledonia Skytower will present the story, voicing the characters and providing narration, live in voice.
