Doch es war sein Schreiben, das ihm Ruhm einbrachte, insbesondere mit der Schaffung von Sherlock Holmes, dem ersten wissenschaftlichen Detektiv. Er war auch ein Konvertit zum Spiritismus und ein Sozialreformer, der seine Ermittlungsfähigkeiten einsetzte, um die Unschuld von Einzelpersonen zu beweisen.
