  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.
