Creator of Sherlock Holmes (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doyle

'creator of sherlock holmes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for doyle that I've seen before include "Detective story perpetrator" , "A. Conan - - (writer)" , "Sir Arthur Conan -, author" , "Arthur Conan - - (lit.)" , "Creator of Sherlock Holmes" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and The New York Times.
