Description
The Hound of the Baskervilles is rated as Arthur Conan Doyle's best full-length Sherlock Holmes story. Set in Devon it pits Sherlock Holmes and his faithful assistant, Dr. Watson, against a deadly adversary. The specter of the giant hound that is said to haunt the moor provides a sinister undertone to Holmes' investigations into the sudden death of Sir Charles Baskerville and his attempts to protect Sir Baskerville's heir, Sir Henry. Fast-paced and brilliantly plotted, The Hound of the Baskervilles is a brilliant example of the classic detective story.
