DESCRIPTION

A London pawnbroker is inexplicably paid large sums of money for a job with a singular qualification: the applicant must have "bright, blazing, fiery red" hair. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson investigate the affair to unearth the underlying motives, revealing a far more sinister plot.

First appearing in 1891 in "The Strand" and published later in the anthology, "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ranked "The Red-Headed League" second on his list of favorite Holmes stories.
