ABOUT THIS BOOK

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are called to help the Baskerville family who are afflicted by a generations-old curse. The curse involves a spectral beast that brings about the death of the Lord of the Baskerville Hall. Sir Charles Baskerville has already fallen dead mysteriously, and a hellhound is haunting the moor surrounding the estate. When the new heir to Baskerville Hall arrives, he receives an anonymous letter of warning and a series of mysteries and misadventures follow.

Is the hound howling in the dead of night truly supernatural in its origins or is it a devious mind plotting something to fulfil its own means? Read on, as the famous sleuth embarks on the greatest adventure of his career!
