Dr Watson, an army doctor on leave in order to recuperate from sustained injuries, meets and rents an apartment in 221b Baker Street with Mr Sherlock Holmes, a "consulting detective".
Watson witnesses Sherlock solving a case involving Jefferson Hope, an American, who travels to London in pursuit of two men from the Mormon community, who he holds responsible for killing his fiance and her father.
"There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it." (Sherlock Holmes, 'A study in scarlet', Chapter 4)
