The Hound of the Baskervilles is one of Conan Doyle's most famous mysteries featuring the detective, Sherlock Holmes, and his friend, Dr. Watson. When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead, the people living in the neighbouring area are sure that he didn't die from natural causes. Strange sightings of a giant fire-breathing hound and stories from the past have convinced them of this. However, a certain Dr. Mortimer thinks there is more to it than that. His theory suggests that this beast has been on the rampage for years, killing generations of male Baskervilles. With the victim's son returning home from Canada, and the mystery still unsolved, Dr. Mortimer turns to Sherlock Holmes for help. He is worried that the deaths will continue until all the Baskerville men are wiped out or someone discovers the truth. The unparalleled detective, Sherlock Holmes, his sidekick, Dr. Watson and an intriguing and mysterious plot make Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' a compelling read.
