This article begins by explaining Doyle's connection to the Latter-day Saints, and his portrayal of Mormons in 'A Study in Scarlet.' The author reviews the LDS doctrine of proxy work, stating that Doyle's temple work was processed in 1980. He then discusses Doyle's own family history, and states that Doyle may have gotten the inspiration for the name Sherlock Holmes from an ancestor's surname.
