Publisher Description
Presented here is one of only four full crime novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring his most famous creation: the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes.
In this tale - perhaps the most popular Holmes story of them all - the venerable detective and his faithful companion Dr. John Watson are told of a curse which haunts the wealthy Dartmoor family of Sir Charles Baskerville. This centuries-old curse manifests itself as a gigantic and ferocious hound that is said to prowl the moors adjacent to the Baskerville estate. When Sir Charles drops dead of fright just outside the moor and the footprints of an enormous hound are discovered nearby, the cry goes out for Holmes to come to Dartmoor and solve the mystery. What follows is one of Doyle's greatest Holmes adventures, featuring a love-smitten heir to the Baskerville fortune, a suspicious butler, a malevolent, bearded stranger, a damsel in distress...and a series of clues that point to the unmistakable fact that a giant hound may indeed be haunting the moor.
One of the greatest of Sherlock Holmes many spine-chilling adventures, "The Hound of the Baskervilles" is presented her in its original and unabridged format.

About Arthur Conan Doyle
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was born of Irish parentage in Scotland. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, but he also had a passion for storytelling. His first book introduced that prototype of the modern detective in fiction, Sherlock Holmes. Despite the immense popularity Holmes gained throughout the world, Doyle was not overly fond of the character and preferred to write other stories. Eventually popular demand won out and he continued to satisfy readers with the adventures of the legendary sleuth. He also wrote historical romances and made two essays into pseudoscientific fantasy: The Lost World and The Poison Belt.
About Kevin Theis
Emily Brontë (1818–1848), sister of Anne and Charlotte, published only one novel in her career, Wuthering Heights. Though she died just one year after its publication and never knew of its success, the story of doomed love and revenge went on to earn its place among the masterpieces of English literature.
