The Hound of the Baskervilles
Overview & Summary
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson investigate the supposed curse of a monstrous, ghostly hound said to stalk the moors around the ancestral Baskerville estate after the family's patriarch dies of apparent fright. As Holmes untangles the very human greed and scheming behind the legend, the atmospheric Dartmoor setting -- with its fog, escaped convict, and eerie howls -- makes this one of the most famous and frequently adapted Holmes mysteries.
