Book Description
Ronald Adair, a quiet young man whose only hobby was playing cards, got killed. Watson attempted to crack the case but with no success. One day he decided to examine the area around the victim’s house and then he ran into a strange old man. Who is he? Can it be the murderer who came back to the crime scene in disguise? Or the old man is simply a witness? Will Watson find out what happened by applying Holmes’ methods or this will not be enough? You can find the answers in "The Adventure of the Empty House" which is a part of "The Return of Sherlock Holmes". Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was born in Scotland and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. After his studies, he worked as a ship’s surgeon on various boats. During the Second Boer War, he was an army doctor in South Africa. When he came back to the United Kingdom, he opened his own practice and started writing crime books. He is best known for his thrilling stories about the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. He published four novels and more than 50 short-stories starring the detective and Dr Watson, and they play an important role in the history of crime fiction. Other than the Sherlock Holmes series, Doyle wrote around thirty more books, in genres such as science-fiction, fantasy, historical novels, but also poetry, plays, and non-fiction.

Book Description
"The Scarlet Letter Study" is a detective novel written by Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887. This story marks the debut of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, who will become the most famous detective duo in popular fiction. The title of the book is taken from a speech by consultant detective Holmes to his friend and chronicler Watson about the nature of his work, in which his investigation into the murder case described him as " Scarlet study": Murder is the colorless strand that runs through life. Our duty is to untie life, isolate it, and expose every inch of life. "This story and its main characters did not arouse public interest when they first appeared. The magazine where the story first appeared, namely Beeton's 1887 Christmas Yearbook, now has only 11 complete copies in existence, and they are of considerable value.
