On his return to London after serving in the Second Anglo-Afghan War as an assistant surgeon, Doctor Watson is looking for a place to live. He is introduced to a certain Mr Holmes, an eccentric, pipe-smoking gentleman who shows an interest in chemistry and is currently engaged in a test to detect human haemoglobin.
What begins as a simple house-sharing enquiry soon turns into a fully fledged “study in scarlet”, a case of blood, murder and betrayal that will transport the reader from the streets of London to the early settlements of Salt Lake City in Utah…
A Study in Scarlet is part of The Alma Complete Sherlock Holmes to include: The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, His Last Bow, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Valley of Fear.
