A Study in Scarlet (Cuppa Classics)

Patience, my friend, patience! You will find in time that it has everything to do with it.’

Arthur Conan Doyle’s A Study in Scarlet is where the legend begins. In a fog-bound London, a brilliant but eccentric detective named Sherlock Holmes meets Dr. John Watson, an army doctor back from war. When the police are baffled by a gruesome murder in an abandoned house blood on the walls, no visible wound-Holmes steps in with his uncanny gift for observation and deduction. What follows is a case that moves from the dark streets of Victorian London to the sun-baked deserts of the American West, revealing a tale of revenge, betrayal, and justice years in the making.

More than just a mystery, this novel introduces one of literature’s favourite duos and sets the stage for every Holmes adventure to come. A Study in Scarlet is a gripping story of reason triumphing over chaos, with every clue drawing you closer to the heart of the mystery.
