A Study in Scarlet

The novel that introduced the world to Sherlock Holmes. A Study in Scarlet, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, marks the beginning of the most famous detective duo in literary history—Holmes and Dr. Watson.

When Dr. John Watson, a retired army surgeon, becomes the flatmate of the eccentric detective Sherlock Holmes at 221B Baker Street, he is quickly drawn into Holmes's world of brilliant deduction and crime-solving genius. Their first case together is both shocking and complex: a murder in an abandoned house, a word scrawled in blood on the wall, and a mystery that stretches from London all the way to the American West.

With razor-sharp logic, Holmes unravels the tangled threads of revenge, obsession, and justice, forever changing the genre of detective fiction.

More than just a mystery, A Study in Scarlet is a literary landmark, introducing themes and characters that would shape generations of crime novels.
