Synopsis

A chilling legend haunts the Baskerville family, and a terrifying, spectral hound is said to roam the moors. When Sir Charles Baskerville dies under mysterious circumstances, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are called to investigate. Can they uncover the truth behind the ancient curse before another heir falls victim to the beast?

Set largely on the fog-bound moors of Dartmoor rather than in Holmes's usual London haunts, this is the third of Conan Doyle's four Holmes novels and often considered the best of them — a atmospheric blend of Gothic horror and rigorous detection.
