Study in Scarlet by Ian Edginton

Study in Scarlet

by Ian Edginton

“There’s the scarlet thread of murder… and our duty is to unravel it!”

A man’s body is found in a bloodstained room - without a scratch on it. A name has been partly written in blood on the wall. A woman’s wedding ring is found...

The sensational story Sherlock Holmes traces, from a dingy London tenement to the plains of the American Wild West, provides a test case in his “science of deduction” - but the greatest enigma to his new friend, Dr. Watson, is Sherlock Holmes himself.

This atmospheric graphic novel adaptation by Ian Edginton and I.N.J. Culbard - the team behind this series' acclaimed The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Sign of the Four and The Valley of Fear - will keep you guessing.

One minute Ray is talking to a policeman about his wife in LA, two commuters meet each other's eyes in a crowded underground in London and in Japan, comic artist Yoshi who has some to the Aokigahara Forest in Japan, fails to hang himself when suddenly there's no-one else around them. Ray is surrounded by cars, Aaron and Lilly talk about everything and nothing and it's very sweet and Yoshi is chased by demons.

It's an interesting read with characters who feel quite real.
