Sir Charles Baskerville has been found dead on the edge of Dartmoor with the footprints of a gigantic hound nearby, and his heir is arriving from Canada. Sherlock Holmes sends Dr Watson to Baskerville Hall to keep watch.

Arthur Conan Doyle published the novel in the Strand Magazine in 1901–02 and in book form in 1902, eight years after he had apparently killed Holmes at the Reichenbach Falls. It is the most read of the four Holmes novels and, for many, the best.

The fifteen chapters are given complete, with Conan Doyle’s dedication to Fletcher Robinson, whose account of a West-Country legend started the book.
