A Study in Scarlet

Sherlock Holmes is called into a murder case by Scotland Inspectors Lestrade and Gregson. The body was found in an empty house and the victim was apparently poisoned. He is identified as an American, Enoch Dreber and the word RACHE is written on the wall in blood. Soon, the dead man's secretary, Joseph Stangerson, is also killed with the same word written on the wall. While the police pursue their own leads - all leading them to incorrect conclusions - Holmes knows this to be an act of revenge and searches for a Mr. Jefferson Hope, the man seeking to right a wrong that was committed on a loved one.
