Edgar Allan Poe's Le Chevalier C. Auguste Dupin, Wilkie Collins' Sergeant Cuff, Emile Gaboriau's Monsieur Lecoq, and Fergus Hume's Detective Gorby all preceded Sherlock Holmes, but I will let you decide which, if any, were famous. Fergus Hume's book, 'The Mystery of a Hansom Cab' (1886), actually outsold Conan Doyle's 'A Study in Scarlet' (1887) at the time.
