Many engage in the quest, but no biographer yet has captured the enigmatic Doyle. Conan Doyle deliberately obscured his life, and his heirs remain keen to guard his papers. Yet the contributors--Conan Doyle scholars and collectors, English literature professors, research librarians, editors, and critics--concur that better biographical material is needed and that now--100 years after the birth of Sherlock Holmes--is an appropriate time to examine the biographical problems.
