Presented here is one of only four full crime novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring his most famous creation: the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. In this tale - perhaps the most popular Holmes story of them all - the venerable detective and his faithful companion Dr. John Watson are told of a curse which haunts the wealthy Dartmoor family of Sir Charles Baskerville. This centuries-old curse manifests itself as a gigantic and ferocious hound that is said to prowl the moors adjacent to the Baskerville estate. When Sir Charles drops dead of fright just outside the moor and the footprints of an enormous hound are discovered nearby, the cry goes out for Holmes to come to Dartmoor and solve the mystery. What follows is one of Doyle's greatest Holmes adventures, featuring a love-smitten heir to the Baskerville fortune, a suspicious butler, a malevolent, bearded stranger, a damsel in distress...and a series of clues that point to the unmistakable fact that a giant hound may indeed be haunting the moor. One of the greatest of Sherlock Holmes many spine-chilling adventures, "The Hound of the Baskervilles" is presented her in its original and unabridged format.
