Conan Doyle's detective (6)

I believe the answer is:

holmes

'conan doyle's detective' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for holmes that I've seen before include "Baker Street sleuth" , "Famous detective" , "Our 1/4 Across [GOLD MEDALLIST] in 2004" , "Watson's idol" , "Conan Doyle's creation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
