Publisher's Summary

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson are the most famous detective duo in the world. Like every story, theirs also has a beginning. Find out how their legend started.

"A Study in Scarlet" is the beginning of the tale of Sherlock Holmes, whom we get to know through Dr. Watson—his faithful friend and the narrator. In this volume, Sherlock Holmes is asked by the police to help solve a mysterious murder. At Brixton Road, under number 3 Lauriston Gardens, the body of a man is found without any injuries or signs of robbery. The case becomes even more unusual with a mysterious ring and the word "RACHE" painted on the wall in blood. Will the world's most famous detective be able to unravel this mystery?

Inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle created a series about Sherlock Holmes that has captivated people's imaginations worldwide for almost 150 years. "A Study in Scarlet" is the first volume of adventures featuring the brilliant and eccentric detective. The novel was first published in 1887 in "Beeton's Christmas Annual" and was later released as a book the following year.
