This Elibron Classics book is a reprint of a 1892 edition by Bernhard Tauchnitz, Leipzig. Initially disconcerted by his eccentric new roommate, Dr. John Watson soon learnsthat there is a great deal more to Sherlock Holmes than violin-playing and Persian slippers. When a man is found dead in mysterious circumstances, with the word "Rache" written in blood on the wall above him, Inspectors Gregson and Lestrade seek the aid of Sherlock Holmes - who astonishes his new friend by apprehending the culprit in a matter of days. The novel that introduced Holmes and Watson to the literary world, A Study in Scarlet is also notable for its startling portrayal of nineteenth-century anti-Mormon prejudice.
