A Study in Scarlet Publisher's Summary
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.I came back from Afghanistan with a bullet in my shoulder, a hand that shook, and no money at all. A friend at St Bartholomew's introduced me to a young man looking for someone to share rooms, and within an hour of meeting Sherlock Holmes I had agreed to move into Baker Street with him.
He was the strangest man I had ever met. He could name a man's trade from the mud on his boot, he beat corpses with a stick in the dissecting room to learn how bruises form, and he did not know that the earth goes round the sun. Then a dead American was found in an empty house in Lauriston Gardens with no wound on him, a single word scrawled in blood on the wall, and a wedding ring lying under the window. Inspector Lestrade was good enough to be baffled, and Holmes was good enough to be pleased.
What begins as a locked-room puzzle takes us across the Atlantic into the alkali desert of Utah, to a wagon train of pioneers, a girl who chose the wrong man to love, and a promise of vengeance kept for twenty years. When the truth comes, it is not a monster who stands in the dock but a man with a story that will not let you hate him.
Published in 1887, A Study in Scarlet introduced Sherlock Holmes to the world and gave him his first friend, his first lodger, and the voice that would narrate him for the next forty years. This unabridged recording keeps Conan Doyle's dry, methodical humour and Watson's plain soldier's eye exactly as written.
