Study In Scarlet (Version 6)

The novel that launched the most famous detective in English literature. When a dead man is found in a deserted London alley with the word "RACHE" carved into the wall beside him, Dr. John Watson witnesses the beginning of a brilliant new kind of investigation. Sherlock Holmes, a consulting detective of formidable powers of deduction, enters the scene and begins unraveling a murder that spans continents and decades, leading from the snow-covered streets of Utah to the gaslit corners of Victorian London. The solution involves a tale of love, betrayal, and a forty-year-old vendetta rooted in the American West. This is where it all began. Holmes and Watson's first outing established the template for every detective partnership that would follow.
