A Study in Scarlet Part 1

Before they became legends, they were just two strangers drawn together by a baffling, blood-soaked crime.


In the aftermath of the Afghan War, Dr. John Watson returns to a gloomy, fog-shrouded London, a broken and penniless man. Seeking affordable lodgings, he crosses paths with an eccentric, hyper-observant stranger named Sherlock Holmes. They take rooms at 221B Baker Street, but Watson soon realizes his erratic roommate is not a conventional doctor or a scholar, but the world's only consulting detective. When a lifeless body is discovered in an abandoned house-surrounded by splatters of blood, a woman's wedding ring, and the cryptic word RACHE scrawled on the wall-Holmes is summoned by Scotland Yard to do what they cannot. But as the bodies begin to multiply, Watson realizes he has been swept into a lethal conspiracy that demands every ounce of his courage and Holmes's deductive genius.
