An Apple Books Classic edition.
Combining brilliant deduction with an unexpectedly sprawling story, Arthur Conan Doyle’s first Sherlock Holmes novel introduces one of literature’s most enduring partnerships.
Recently returned from military service, Dr. John Watson meets the eccentric and relentlessly observant Sherlock Holmes in London. When a baffling murder leads Holmes through a maze of clues, the investigation becomes a tale of betrayal and vengeance in the American West.
Watson watches his new companion transform scattered evidence into certainty, as the case reveals how a grievance carried across decades can turn poisonous. A Study in Scarlet’s brisk, inventive, and structurally daring style captures the birth of a legendary relationship, and the moment the modern detective story found its voice.
Quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
From WikiquoteThe highest morality may prove also to be the highest wisdom when the half-told story comes to be finished.
When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hopes seem hardly worth having, just mount a bicycle and go for a good spin down the road, without thought of anything but the ride you are taking.
The whole doctrine of original sin, the Fall, the vicarious atonement, the placation of the Almighty by blood—all this is abhorrent to me. The spirit-guides do not insist upon these aspects of religion.
