Sherlock Holmes: A Study in Scarlet (Sherlock Complete Set 1)
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The greatest detective of them all is back…’There’s the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it’. Arriving in the wilderness of London Dr John Watson finds himself lodging at 221b Baker Street with one Sherlock Holmes. A corpse has been discovered and scrawled in blood across the walls is the word RACHE – revenge. Watson, is baffled by the case but for Holmes the game is afoot…
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He was a doctor by trade; optician more specifically. It is rumoured that during his off periods of work he would think about and write his various stories. He is well known for several science fiction works, but of course his most recognizable works are the Sherlock Holmes mysteries. He died in 1930. He tried desperately to “kill off” Holmes so that he could pursue other genres of writing as well, and not just be known for the Holmes mysteries. However, after much public outcry, Holmes returned in “The Empty House” and in many other stories following, up to the “Case Book of Sherlock Holmes” collection.
