When Sir Charles Baskerville dies under mysterious circumstances, his family turns to Sherlock Holmes for help in uncovering the truth behind the legend of a ghostly hound said to haunt their family for generations. Holmes sends Dr Watson to Devon to protect the Baskerville heir and observe the suspects at close hand, pitting rationalism against the supernatural. With its atmospheric setting on ancient moorland and savage apparition, this crime novel is one of the greatest ever written.
