Arthur Conan Doyle novel (1,5,2,7)

I believe the answer is:

a study in scarlet

(Other definitions for a study in scarlet that I've seen before include "colourful interior decoration for scholar?" , "a brilliantly-coloured room" , "novel" , "Book" , "mystery" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
