In The Man with the Twisted Lip, Dr Watson is called upon late at night by a female friend of his wife whose husband has been absent for several days.

Watson finds his friend Sherlock Holmes in the den, disguised as an old man, trying to extract information about a new case from the addicts therein. The case of double identity and potential murder presents Holmes with a task that is anything but elementary. This is the sixth of the twelve stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, originally published in 1891.

Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was arts, maar werd vooral bekend als schrijver. Zijn verhalen over de intelligente, enigszins verwaande detective Sherlock Holmes, immer bijgestaan door zijn trouwe vriend Dr. Watson, zijn al tientallen jaren populair.
Naast detectives schreef Doyle ook historische romans, toneelstukken, poëzie en non-fictie. Toch waardeerde het grote publiek hem vooral om zijn detectives.
