Publisher Description
An Apple Books Classic edition.
Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous Sherlock Holmes novel sends the detective into a gothic landscape where logic meets legend.
When Sir Charles Baskerville dies under mysterious circumstances on the fog-shrouded moors of Dartmoor, whispers of an ancient family curse begin to spread. His heir arrives in England knowing he may be next, and Holmes must determine whether a supernatural hound truly stalks the Baskerville line, or if something far more darkly human is at work.
Reason battles superstition as Holmes applies his unflinching intellect to a case that seems to defy it. The Hound of the Baskervilles is tense, eerie, and atmospheric, revealing how even the darkest legends can be dragged into the light.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Those for whom the Oxford University Press edition (1993) was not the final word on the canon won't want to miss the latest volume in the Sherlock Holmes Reference Library, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and edited by Leslie S. Klinger. As David Stuart Davies notes in his introduction, Klinger provides annotations at once "scholarly, instructive and enlightening," as well as chronologies for the individual stories and a bibliography of secondary works.
