A family legend under investigation

A country doctor brings Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson a chilling account tied to the Baskerville family: a warning about a monstrous hound said to haunt the moors around their ancestral home. With Sir Charles Baskerville dead and enormous pawprints reported near his body, the pair investigate whether the legend can explain the evidence. The case brings rational detection into contact with inherited fear and the uncertainty of what the moors conceal. This Signet Classics edition also includes an afterword by Anne Perry.

Book overview

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson face a mystery on the moors in this classic caper from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

A country doctor has come to 221B Baker Street, the lodgings of famed detective Sherlock Holmes, with the eerie tale of the Hound of the Baskervilles. The legend warns the descendants of the Baskerville family never to venture out on the moors that surround their ancestral home, for fear that they will meet the devil-beast that lurks there.

Such a story sounds preposterous to any man of reason, but now Sir Charles Baskerville is dead--and the footprints of a giant hound have been found near his body. Sherlock Holmes and his faithful friend Dr. John Watson agree to investigate the truth of the matter. They will soon learn that in this case, nothing is quite as it seems....

The most famous of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, The Hound of the Baskervilles is a classic of masterful detection and hair-raising suspense.

Includes an Afterword by Anne Perry
