A Study in Scarlet

Dr. John Watson, a veteran of the Afghan wars, comes to London after leaving the army, looking for lodgings. He is introduced to the eccentric Sherlock Holmes, who is looking for a roommate, and they secure lodgings at 221B Baker Street. Soon after, Holmes is asked to assist in a murder investigation: the victim has been found dead in a blood-spattered room, but with no marks on him.
Scotland Yard is clueless, but Holmes finds the killer, and reveals a tale of love and revenge.
