Sherlock Holmes — Arthur Conan Doyle

Sherlock Holmes is the most adapted fictional character in history, with over 25,000 stage and screen appearances and 75,000 published works featuring him. His deductive method, cocaine habit, disdain for sentiment, and partnership with Watson set the template for the brilliant but flawed detective that still dominates crime fiction today. His analytical techniques have influenced modern forensic science, particularly in fingerprint analysis and deductive reasoning protocols.
