A study in Scarlet. A Study in Scarlet. In English. Doyle A.K.

The English writer Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) belongs to many adventure, historical, fantastic and humorous works, however, he entered the world culture primarily as an unsurpassed master of the detective genre, the creator of one of the most famous and beloved characters - a brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes.

“A sketch in crimson colors” (1887) is a story that first introduced readers to an amazing detective. A mysterious murder occurs in the old mansion. The only evidence remaining at the crime scene: the engagement ring, gold clock, the pocket edition of the Decamerone Bokkaccio and the word, scratched with blood on the wall. The police are at a dead end, and the private detective Sherlock Holmes, known for their ability to notice what slip away from others is taken up. It was at this time that he meets Dr. Watson, who will become his faithful assistant and friend. Their investigation allows you to find a killer - and portends the appearance of a whole series of detective stories about the inimitable Sherlock Holmes.
