GRIS GRIMLY'S SHERLOCK HOLMES IN A STUDY IN SCARLET

The first book by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle starring two of the most famous classic literary characters— Sherlock Holmes and John Watson—is rendered in a completely fresh, modern, and twisted way, by acclaimed and bestselling illustrator Gris Grimly.

The year is 1881. The city, London. A man lies dead in an empty house, not a mark upon him, and no clues-save for the word RACHE scrawled in blood on the wall above. Elsewhere, two men—a former army doctor called John Watson and a brilliant eccentric called Sherlock Holmes—meet for the first time. These two events set in motion an adventure into the darkest corners of men’s hearts, as the cold, calculating investigative methods of Mr. Holmes are put to the test in a case that spans decades and continents, rife with danger and intrigue.

Originally published in 1887, A Study In Scarlet was the first novel to feature a character whose name would become synonymous with the art of deduction. Today, it is completely reimagined with artwork by the modern master of gothic romanticism, Gris Grimly, bringing this thrilling tale of love and revenge to a new generation of readers.

Gris Grimly is a filmmaker and fine artist but considers himself first and foremost a children’s book illustrator. Some of his titles include Gris Grimly’s Frankenstein, as well as Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Madness and Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales of Death and Dementia, both of which are adapted from Poe’s original text, and Neil Gaiman’s bestselling picture book The Dangerous Alphabet. He lives in Los Angeles.
