A Study in Scarlet

“A convalescent army doctor meets an eccentric consulting detective, unraveling a bloody London mystery that spans two continents.”

In the shadowy fog of Victorian London, Dr. John Watson, newly returned and wounded from the Afghan War, seeks an affordable lodging and finds an extraordinary roommate: the brilliant, aloof Sherlock Holmes. When Scotland Yard calls upon Holmes to investigate an abandoned house in Brixton where a man lies murdered without a wound—and the German word for revenge scrawled in blood—the duo embarks on their first historic case. The trail of forensic clues and cryptic motives stretches far beyond Britain’s capital into a bitter saga of persecution and retribution across the American frontier.
