The first Sherlock Holmes novel - and the beginning of the world's most famous detective partnership. London, 1881. Dr John Watson has returned from military service in Afghanistan and is searching for a place to live. Sherlock Holmes, a brilliant and eccentric consulting detective, is looking for a flatmate. Their meeting at 221B Baker Street marks the beginning of one of the most enduring partnerships in fiction. Soon Watson accompanies Holmes to the scene of their first shared investigation: a mysterious death in an abandoned house, a cryptic word written in blood, and clues that confound the police but reveal to Holmes the first threads of a larger design. From the streets of London to a dark story of love and vengeance in the American West, A Study in Scarlet combines detective fiction, gothic atmosphere and a dramatic tale of revenge.
