The Hound of the Baskervilles

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Set on the moors in Devon, England, The Hound of the Baskervilles chronicles a murder case involving the family curse of the Baskervilles and the legend of a ferocious, supernatural hound. Holmes and Watson are called to the case by a family friend, who senses something amiss in the death of the baronet and fears for the safety of his nephew, the inheritor of the estate. The story that unfolds involves a clandestine love affair, a long lost heir, an escaped convict, a mysterious cabbie, and the Baker Street Irregulars collecting intelligence in London. Holmes is miles ahead of everyone in determining that things are not what they seem and deducing the truth from evidence overlooked by everyone else. The novel marked the return of Holmes from his apparent death years before in "The Final Problem". It ranks 123rd on the BBC’s list of 200 best-loved novels in the UK.
