“There’s the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it…”

With these chilling words, a legend was born. In A Study in Scarlet, the brilliant but enigmatic Sherlock Holmes makes his unforgettable debut, joining forces with Dr. John Watson to solve a baffling murder in a deserted London house. As the clues unfold — a wedding ring, a word scrawled in blood, and a trail that leads to the American West — Holmes's unique methods and unmatched intellect are revealed for the first time.

But this isn’t just a murder mystery. It’s the origin story of literature’s most iconic detective partnership.
