Resumen |
In 1887, a young Arthur Conan Doyke published A Study in Scarlet, thus creating an international icon in the quick-wited sleuth Sherlock Holmes. In this, the first Holmes mystery, the deective introduces himself to Dr. John H. Watson with the puzzling line "You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive." And so begins Watson's, and the world's, fascination with this enigmatic character.
Doyle presents two equally perplexing mysteries for Holmes to solve: one a murder a that takes place in the shadowy outskirts of London, in a locked room where the haunting word Rache is written upo the wall, the other a kidnapping set in the American West. Quickly picking up the "scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, "Holmes does no fail at finding the truth--and making literary history.
