Fiction · 1887
A Study in Scarlet
Dr John Watson, invalided home from Afghanistan, is introduced to a man looking for someone to share rooms in Baker Street. Within days he is watching Sherlock Holmes read a corpse in an empty house in Lauriston Gardens.
Arthur Conan Doyle’s first novel, published in Beeton’s Christmas Annual in 1887, introduced Holmes and Watson; its second half, set in Utah, tells the story behind the crime. Bibliomancer presents the complete text in its two parts.
