When a corpse turns up in an empty Brixton house with a single word scrawled in blood on the wall, the police are baffled. Newly arrived in London and short on funds, Dr. John Watson has just taken lodgings with an eccentric stranger who studies cigarette ash and reads whole histories from a splash of mud. That stranger is Sherlock Holmes, and this is the case that launches him. Half detective puzzle, half sweeping tale of betrayal and vengeance on the American frontier, this is the book that introduced the world's most famous consulting detective and the loyal friend who would chronicle his genius for decades to come.
