The Hound of the Baskervilles

This is the third of the four novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson investigate the case of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin. This was the first appearance of Holmes since his apparent death in The Final Problem , and the success of The Hound of the Baskervilles led to the character's eventual revival.
