The Hound of the Baskervilles

By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The Hound of the Baskervilles
Synopsis
Could the sudden death of Sir Charles Baskerville have been caused by the gigantic ghostly hound that is said to have haunted his family for generations? Arch-rationalist Sherlock Holmes characteristically dismisses the theory as nonsense. Immersed in another case, he sends Watson to Devon to protect the Baskerville heir and observe the suspects close at hand. With its atmospheric setting on the ancient, wild moorland, its savage apparition, and a classic good against evil struggle, this book is a compelling read.
