Book Synopsis

The sudden, terrifying death of Sir Charles Baskerville on his ancestral estate gives rise to an ancient family curse: a spectral, bloodthirsty hound that stalks the lonely moors. To protect the new heir, Sir Henry Baskerville, from meeting the same grisly fate, the brilliant consulting detective Sherlock Holmes and his trusted companion Dr. John Watson are called to investigate.

What follows is a masterful duel of wits against an unseen killer. As Watson attempts to gather clues amidst the desolate landscape, Holmes must use cold, unyielding logic to dismantle a supernatural myth and expose a highly calculating, human murderer before the phantom hound strikes again.
