Synopsis
The terrible spectacle of the beast, the fog of the moor, the discovery of a body, this classic horror story pits detective against dog.
When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on the wild Devon moorland with the footprints of a giant hound nearby, the blame is placed on a family curse. It is left to Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson to solve the mystery of the legend of the phantom hound before Sir Charles' heir comes to an equally gruesome end.

Great read
A great read, shame so much of the story doesn't include Sherlock and concentrates mostly on Watson's venture, but I still enjoyed it.
