On the desolate moors of Dartmoor, an ancient curse seems to haunt the Baskerville family in the form of a spectral hound that prowls the night. After a death shrouded in inexplicable circumstances, Holmes and Dr. Watson are confronted with a case in which superstition, fear, and seemingly supernatural events put the limits of reason to the test.

With a masterfully crafted Gothic atmosphere and an intrigue sustained through to the final pages, Conan Doyle delivers a novel that blends suspense, investigation, and a reflection on the power of fear. The Hound of the Baskervilles is an indispensable classic of detective fiction, where intelligence and method ultimately prevail over darkness and myth.
