Synopsis
This compilation features two of Doyle’s novel-length Sherlock Holmes tales, A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of the Four. A Study in Scarlet is notable for introducing readers to Holmes and his beloved sidekick, Dr. Watson. The Sign of the Four expands upon Holmes’ character, humanizing literature’s greatest detective by introducing his regrettable drug habit. As Doyle only composed four Holmes novels and limited the rest of his adventures to short story form, this compilation is a must for all Holmes fans and scholars.

From the Back Cover
The year is 1881. The city, London. A man lies dead in an empty house, not a mark upon him, and no clues—save for the word "RACHE" scrawled in blood on the wall above. Elsewhere, two men—a former army doctor called John Watson and a brilliant eccentric called Sherlock Holmes—meet for the first time. These two events set in motion an adventure into the darkest corners of men's hearts, as the cold, calculating investigative methods of Mr. Holmes are put to the test in a case that spans decades and continents, rife with danger and intrigue.
Originally published in 1887, A Study in Scarlet was the first novel to feature the character whose name would become synonymous with the art of deduction. Today, the original, unabridged text is reimagined with artwork by the modern master of gothic romanticism, Gris Grimly, bringing this thrilling tale of love and revenge to a new generation of readers.
