A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of Four - Summary
Enter the world of Sherlock Holmes, the iconic detective whose brilliance shines as bright today as it did over a century ago. This volume combines two thrilling adventures, 'A Study in Scarlet' and 'The Sign of Four,' introducing readers to the legendary partnership of Holmes and Dr. Watson. Prepare to be captivated by intricate plots, astute deductions, and the enigmatic allure of Victorian London.
Key Themes

This theme exposes the hypocrisy and hidden dangers lurking beneath the surface of a seemingly civilized society.
