In this new season of Adventures in Compliance, host Tom Fox will dive deep into the Sherlock Holmes novels. Over this season, Tom will do so in a four-part series. The four novels we will consider from the ethics and compliance perspective are A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Valley of Fear.
We begin with A Study in Scarlet for our first offering this new season. In Part 2, Tom will take a deep dive into Dr. Watson, how he and Holmes met, and Watson’s contributions to their partnership and consider Watson’s professional training as a doctor, his war services and injuries during the Second Anglo-Afghan War, and his return to England, all leading to his initial introduction to Holmes by their mutual acquaintance Stamford. Watson’s involvement in the case helps Holmes move beyond isolated brilliance to true investigative mastery. In compliance, pairing sharp analytic talent with professionals rooted in operational or practical experience often yields the strongest compliance strategies.
