Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first novel--and the origin story of Sherlock
Holmes and John Watson--is reimagined in the first unabridged, fully
illustrated version since its debut, by acclaimed and bestselling
illustrator Gris Grimly.
The year is 1881. The city, London. A man lies dead in an empty house,
not a mark upon him, and no clues--save for the word "RACHE" scrawled in
blood on the wall above. Elsewhere, two men--a former army doctor called
John Watson and a brilliant eccentric called Sherlock Holmes--meet for
the first time. These two events set in motion an adventure into the
darkest corners of men's hearts as the cold, calculating investigative
methods of Mr. Holmes are put to the test in a case that spans decades
and continents, rife with danger and intrigue.
Originally published in 1887, A Study in Scarlet was the first novel
to feature a character whose name would become synonymous with the art
of deduction. Today it is completely reimagined with artwork by the
modern master of gothic romanticism, Gris Grimly, bringing this
thrilling tale of love and revenge to a new generation of readers.
