On a desolate, fog-filled moor, someone—or something—is murdering the Baskerville heirs. So says Dr. Mortimer, a country practitioner who appeals to Dr. Watson and Detective Sherlock Holmes for help. Most recently, Sir Charles Baskerville was found dead from fright on a tree-strewn path outside his ancestral home, with the print of a large dog nearby.

On a desolate, fog-filled moor, someone—or something—is murdering the Baskerville heirs. So says Dr. Mortimer, a country practitioner who appeals to Dr. Watson and Detective Sherlock Holmes for help. Most recently, Sir Charles Baskerville was found dead from fright on a tree-strewn path outside his ancestral home, with the print of a large dog nearby. Complicating the mystery is an ancient legend about the Baskervilles that Dr. Mortimer shares with Holmes and Watson: as the story goes, a fiendish hound hunted down one Hugo Baskerville generations before as retribution for Hugo's dastardly crimes against a neighboring girl. Now, Sir Henry, the newest heir to the estate, is set to travel from London to Devonshire to take over his ancestral home. A mysterious letter warns him to remain put. A puzzled but delighted Holmes declares it one of the most intriguing puzzles he's had the pleasure of coming across. The question remains: is it indeed a supernatural beast that haunts the Baskerville heirs—or is something even more sinister out for their blood? THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES is the fifth gothic novel in the Green Collection, Greenleaf & Plympton's inaugural collection of five classic gothics. The novels in this collection include: JANE EYRE by Charlotte Brontë THE TURN OF THE SCREW by Henry James THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO by Alexandre Dumas NORTHANGER ABBEY by Jane Austen THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
