'There is nothing more stimulating than a case where everything goes against you.'

There is no case too strange for Sherlock Holmes, but some cases feel designed to test that certainty. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles sends the world's greatest detective to the fog-drenched moors of Dartmoor, where the legend of a spectral, murderous hound has long cursed the Baskerville family.

When the newest heir arrives to claim his inheritance, the deaths begin again. Holmes, armed with reason in a landscape that seems to resist it, must untangle ancient legend from present danger before the moors claim another victim.

Gothic, gripping, and shot through with Doyle's characteristic wit, this is the mystery that has defined the genre for over a century.
