'What you do in this world is a matter of no consequence. The question is what can you make people believe you have done.'
The debut of one of the most iconic detective duos in popular culture,
A Study in Scarlet is Arthur Conan Doyle's thrilling introduction to the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson.
When a mysterious corpse is discovered in an abandoned house, a single word – 'RACHE' – scrawled in blood on the wall and a woman's gold wedding band on the floor, the police are confounded. Dr John Watson, newly returned from war and on the hunt for some lodgings, soon finds himself sharing rooms with the eccentric yet undeniably brilliant 'consulting detective' Sherlock Holmes. Drawn into the investigation through Holmes's connections, he witnesses first-hand Holmes's astonishing powers of deduction, as he gradually begins to unravel a crime rooted in revenge, fanaticism and long-buried secrets. A masterclass in detective fiction and one of the most enduring crime novels in history,
A Study in Scarlet is a meticulously crafted and riveting tale of misdirection and deception.
Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 – 1930) was a Scottish writer and physician. Although he also had an affinity to writing fantasy and science fiction, he is most famous for creating the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. His crime fiction is still widely read, adapted and studied to this day.
Arthur Conan Doyle wurde am 22.5.1859 in Edinburgh/Schottland geboren. Sein Vater stammte aus einer aristokratischen irischen Familie. Doyle studierte an der Universität Edinburgh Medizin. Um sein Studium finanzieren zu können, begann er 1879 mit der Schriftstellerei. 1885 wurde ihm der Doktortitel verliehen. Es ist naheliegend, das Doyle als praktischer Arzt und Mediziner in der fiktiven Figur des Doktor Watson sein Alter Ego erschuf.View all by Arthur Conan Doyle
