The hit BBC series?Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, offers a fresh, contemporary take on the classic Arthur Conan Doyle stories, and has helped introduce a whole new generation of fans to the legendary detective. The debut episode took as its inspiration the very first Sherlock Holmes novel,?A Study in Scarlet?- and this edition of Conan Doyle's novel will allow?Sherlock?fans to discover, or re-discover, the power of that classic story.
A Study in Scarlet?is the genre-defining work with... which popular crime fiction was born. A potent mix of serial murder, suspense, cryptic clues, red herrings and revenge, the novel introduces us to the world-famous characters of Sherlock Holmes, Dr Watson and Inspector Lestrade and sees Sherlock and Dr Watson meet and join forces for the first time as they track a mysterious killer that stalks London's streets.
In addition to the original text, this edition also has an introduction by?Sherlock?co-creator Steven Moffat, who explains how it inspired the?Sherlock?script.
