Description: "There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it."
Returning to London after the war, Doctor John Watson finds himself splitting the rent with the eccentric Sherlock Holmes at 221B Baker Street. He soon accompanies his new roommate to a most curious muder scene, and becomes involved in untangling a mystery that spans two continents. Can Holmes and Watson solve a murder that was years in the making, before the killer strikes again?
Published in 1888, A Study in Scarlet was written in less than three weeks, and kicked off forty years of Holmes and Watson adventures. The first full-length work featuring the world’s most famous consulting detective, the original edition featured drawings by the author’s father, illustrator Charles Altamont Doyle.
