Title: A Study in Scarlet

Overview: A Study in Scarlet is an 1887 detective novel written by Arthur Conan Doyle. The story marks the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, who would become the most famous detective duo in literature. The book's title derives from a speech given by Holmes, a consulting detective, to his friend and chronicler Watson on the nature of his work, in which he describes the story's murder investigation as his "study in scarlet": "There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colorless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it." The story, and its main characters, attracted little public interest when it first appeared. Only 11 complete copies of the magazine in which the story first appeared, Beeton's Christmas Annual for 1887, are known to exist now and they have considerable value. Although Conan Doyle wrote 56 short stories featuring Holmes, A Study in Scarlet is one of only four full-length novels in the original canon. The novel was followed by The Sign of the Four, published in 1890. A Study in Scarlet was the first work of detective fiction to incorporate the magnifying glass as an investigative tool. A Study in Scarlet is composed of 2 parts with 7 chapters in each part. Part 1 - Sine Nomine includes the first 7 episodes née chapters: B1E1 - Mr. Sherlock Holmes, B1E2 - The Science of Deduction, B1E3 - The Lauriston Gardens Mystery, B1E4 - What John Rance Had to Tell, B1E5 - Our Advertisement Brings a Visitor, B1E6 - Tobias Gregson Shows What He Can Do, B1E7 - Light in the Darkness. Part 2 - The Country of the Saints includes the final 7 episodes née chapters: B1E8 - On the Great Alkali Plain, B1E9 - The Flower of Utah, B1E10 - John Ferrier Talks with the Prophet, B1E11 - A Flight for Life, B1E12 - The Avenging Angels, B1E13 - A Continuation of the Reminiscences of John Watson, M.D., and B1E14 - The Conclusion.
