HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential
classics. 'They all agreed that it was a huge creature, luminous, ghastly and
spectral.' Originally serialised in The Strand Magazine, Conan Doyle's The Hound
of the Baskervilles follows the infamous Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson as they
investigate the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville, whose dead body is
found on the misty and desolate Devon moors. The locals blame his death on the
legend of the fearsome phantom hound that they claim has haunted the Baskerville
family for generations. When the heir to the Baskerville fortune, Sir Henry,
also comes under threat Holmes' detective skills are put to the test as he
battles to discover the truth behind the legend and to solve one of the most
macabre mysteries of his career.
