Synopsis

In 'A Study in Scarlet', the debut for the iconic sleuth Sherlock Holmes and his trusty assistant Dr. John Watson, a body is found in a room in Brixton with the German word for revenge, 'Rache' scrawled in blood on the wall above it. The absence of any obvious wounds on the body marks the beginning for the first investigation for the pair. The 'Sign of the Four' continues their adventures with their service in the East India Company, the search for a hidden treasure and a pact amongst four convicts. Together, these two novels bring to life the fascinating team of Holmes and Watson in two enthralling and fast-paced mysteries.

About this title

From the Author:

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a writer and physician. Born in Edinburgh in Scotland, he began writing short stories while studying medicine. His first work featuring Sherlock Holmes, A Study in Scarlet, was published in 1886. Relentlessly curious about a vast range of subjects, his interests were reflected in the vast array of knowledge that Sherlock Holmes exhibited in his stories. Conan Doyle died at the age of 71 and is buried in Hampshire.
