Description: A room in an empty house in South London, a dead man lying in the flicker of a red wax candle, the word 'revenge' scrawled in blood on the wall, and Scotland Yard completely at a loss— such is the setting of the famous novel that started Sherlock Holmes on his ceiebrated career. But A Study in Scarlet also tells how Holmes first met Dr Watson, the reasons that led them to share the familiar rooms in Baker Street, and how his special methods of detection had their first astounding success.
