In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous Sherlock Holmes adventure, Holmes and Dr. John Watson must solve a murder connected to a centuries-old curse and a demonic dog with a thirst for blood. . . .
The evil Sir Hugo, master of the lonely, moor-encompassed Manor of Baskerville, began the Curse of the Baskervilles in the seventeenth century.
Desirous of a yeoman’s daughter, Hugo swore he was ready to give his soul to the devil for her. He captured her, but she escaped. He saddled his horse and chased her over the moors until she dropped dead from exhaustion . . . and then a black hellhound appeared, with eyes like fire, and ripped out Hugo’s throat.
Now, years later, the Hound has returned. Already it has caused the death of Hugo’s descendant, Sir Charles Baskerville. And the new Lord of the Manor, Henry Baskerville, had been warned not to claim his inheritance on pain of death. Can Sherlock Holmes stop the curse before it claims Henry too?
