A Study in Scarlet

ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE

About the story.

Returning from military service, Dr. Watson needs lodgings and is introduced to a man with unusual interests and an even more unusual profession. Sharing rooms at Baker Street soon gives him a view of Sherlock Holmes at work.

A death in an empty house draws the new companions into a case with a history far beyond London. This first Holmes novel introduces a partnership built on curiosity, argument, and the pleasure of following a difficult trail.
