Arthur Conan ___ (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doyle

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

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