Publisher's Summary
The spectral hellhound, which dogs the descendants of the Baskerville family, has claimed another victim. The ancient legend, and the modern murderous facts are placed before the great Sherlock Holmes. And one of the greatest adventures put to print begins...
Holmes explores three potential threads of the mystery. The journey is exhausted in London, and we venture into the dangerous lands of Dartmoor. A wild horse struggles for freedom from the merciless Grimpen Mire. Watson and Stapleton stare in horror and wonder as the mire slowly extinguishes the thrashing animal. The gloom and mystery of the moor pervade Watson's investigations, and nobody is as innocent as they would have us believe. The mysterious butler, Barrymore, has his secret exposed. The throaty wail of a hell hound terrorizes the moor, causing Sir Henry Baskerville's very bones to tremble with fear. Sherlock Holmes finally reveals himself, and proclaims who he believes the murderer to be. However, he further states that there exists not a shred of evidence to convict the villain. Holmes' net tightens, and the fiendish hound claims another victim.Deep mists shroud the final attack of the Baskerville hound. And while Holmes and Watson track down the hellish beast, Sir Henry Baskerville receives a shock that will haunt him all the rest of his days.
