A Study in Scarlet, first published in 1887, is the debut novel of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the work that introduced the world to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson. The story unfolds in two parts: the first follows Watson as he meets the brilliant, eccentric Holmes and observes his remarkable deductive methods while they investigate a mysterious murder in London marked by the word “RACHE” scrawled in blood. The second part shifts to the American West, revealing the deeper motives and history that shaped the crime. Blending detective fiction with adventure and dramatic backstory, A Study in Scarlet established the enduring partnership of Holmes and Watson and set the foundation for the modern mystery genre.
