"The Red-Headed League" is a short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. The story was first published in 1891 and is one of the 56 stories in the Sherlock Holmes canon. The story revolves around a strange case brought to Holmes by a man named Jabez Wilson, who has garnered a large sum of money from an unusual organization called the Red-Headed League. Wilson, a pawnbroker, is hired by the League to simply copy out the pages of an encyclopedia, and is paid handsomely for his trouble. However, when the League suddenly dissolves and its founder disappears, leaving Wilson without his expected salary, Wilson turns to Holmes for help. Holmes, through his deduction skills, discovers that the league was created as a smokescreen to distract Wilson from his pawnbroking business so that his shop could be burgled, ultimately leading to the perpetrator’s arrest. The story is a classic example of Sherlock Holmes’ masterful detective work and astute observation of human behavior.
