Beyond the City

by Arthur Conan Doyle

Overview

Destiny brings three peculiar households together in the placid English countryside. The desire for money and romance drives these Victorians beyond the natural boundaries of the middle class lives. As the web of lust and deceit draws these accidental neighbors ever closer. A financial scandal befalls one of them.

An outside "rank pirate" is linked somehow to one of the neighbors. Who could it be? In this work Doyle exhibits the practiced subtlety and complexity for which he has become so well known.

About the Author

Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) practiced medicine in the resort town of Southsea, England, and wrote stories while waiting for his patients to arrive. In 1886, he created two of the greatest fictional characters of all time: the detective Sherlock Holmes and his partner, Dr. Watson. Over the course of four novels and fifty-six short stories, Conan Doyle set a standard for crime fiction that has yet to be surpassed.
