"Introduction by Anne Perry
Includes newly commissioned endnotes
In 1887, a young Arthur Conan Doyle published A Study in Scarlet, creating an
international icon in the quick-witted sleuth Sherlock Holmes. In this very
first Holmes mystery, the detective 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. In
A Study in Scarlet, Doyle presents two equally perplexing mysteries for Holmes
to solve: one a murder that takes place in the shadowy outskirts of London, in a
locked room where the haunting word Rache is written upon the wall, the other a
kidnapping set in the American West. Picking up the ""scarlet thread of murder
running through the colourless skein of life,"" Holmes demonstrates his uncanny
knack for finding the truth, tapping into powers of deduction that still
captivate readers today."
