The Hound of the Baskervilles
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle · 2001 · 248 pages
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

“Hooray! — school canceled by a Nebraska snowstorm! As flakes softly fell all day, I read The Hound without, I think, ever looking up. I then feverishly read the collected tales, which provided hours and hours of some of the most enjoyable reading of my life.”↗
