After returning from military service, Watson becomes Holmes’s roommate at 221B Baker Street and soon witnesses the detective’s extraordinary methods. The pair are called to investigate a mysterious murder in an abandoned London house: a man lies dead with no wounds, and the word “RACHE” is written in blood on the wall. Holmes uses logic, observation, and scientific deduction to uncover clues the police overlook. The novel’s second part shifts to the American West, revealing a dramatic backstory of love, betrayal, and vengeance that ultimately explains the crime.
