Produktbeschreibung
Sir Arthur Conan Doyles first novel-and the origin story of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson-is reimagined
in the first unabridged, fully illustrated version since its debut, by acclaimed and bestselling
illustrator Gris Grimly.
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 mens 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 a character whose name
would become synonymous with the art of deduction. Today it is completely 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.
