    Every great hero has an origin story and for the legendary Sherlock Holmes, it is "A Study in Scarlet," Arthur Conan Doyle's 1887 novel which introduced the world's leading (and only) consulting detective to the reading public. Though not an immediate sensation (the novel was received with moderate acclaim), it has gone on to become one of the most revered detective novels in history and its protagonists - Dr. John Watson and Sherlock Holmes - are easily the most recognized and celebrated crime fighting duo in all of literature.  The plot is a familiar one to Holmes aficionados: Soon after becoming Holmes' roommate at 221B Baker Street, army veteran Dr. John Watson is invited to accompany the detective to a crime scene.  A man has been poisoned and the word RACHE is discovered written in red on the wall. What follows is a wild and tumultuous adventure involving murder, deceit, revenge...and the strange history of the Mormon religion. It is also the story that introduced the world to Holmes' young assistants, a ragtag group of street urchins known as the Baker Street Irregulars.  The story of the greatest detective in literary history...begins with this book. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "A Study in Scarlet" is proudly presented here in its original and unabridged format.

    “Learn to love death's ink-black shadow as much as you love the light of dawn.” 
    Yeah? Well, Nikolas doesn't do early mornings. 
    It takes a certain kind of courage to live as if favoured by the Gods, ignoring the ever-present ghosts of your past--or perhaps not bravery, but arrogance. And maybe not even that. Ben genuinely believes that the past is behind them—that they deserve to enjoy the life they have created. So it's not hubris that leads him to overlook the signs that Nikolas does not share his faith, it's love. But Nikolas knows something is coming. He can't stop it; he can only decide how he will choose to face it. And without Ben's support, he is entirely alone.

    When they force their way back into my world, claiming it’s for my protection, I make one thing clear: I haven’t forgotten the pain they caused. As more secrets come to light, I soon realize there’s only one man for me, and I’ll never let him go.
