Publisher's Synopsis
When young Arthur Conan Doyle wrote A Study in Scarlet he couldn’t have imagined that he was creating an international icon in the quick-witted sleuth Sherlock Holmes and his faithful companion, Doctor Watson. In this, the first Holmes mystery, the detective introduces himself to Dr. Watson with the puzzling line "You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive.” And so begins Watson's, and the world's, fascination with this enigmatic character.
