Z otevřené tlamy mu šlehal oheň, oči mu zářily a čumák, chřtán i krk byly obaleny plameny. Nikdy bych si v mysli nepředstavoval něco tak barbarského, tak ohavného, jako bylo tohle černé tělo a vrčící hlava, které vyrazily ze závěje mlhy. Když je sir Charles Baskerville nalezen mrtev za podivných okolností, jsou k vyšetřování povoláni Sherlock Holmes s Dr. Watsonem. Má se smrtí něco společného strašlivý pes, který údajně pronásleduje rod Baskervillů? Holmes s Watsonem musejí riskovat životy, aby záhadu vyřešili.
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson face a mystery on the moors in this classic caper from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A country doctor has come to 221B Baker Street, the lodgings of famed detective Sherlock Holmes, with the eerie tale of the Hound of the Baskervilles. The legend warns the descendants of the Baskerville family never to venture out on the moors that surround their ancestral home, for fear that they will meet the devil-beast that lurks there. Such a story sounds preposterous to any man of reason, but now Sir Charles Baskerville is dead—and the footprints of a giant hound have been found near his body. Sherlock Holmes and his faithful friend Dr. John Watson agree to investigate the truth of the matter. They will soon learn that in this case, nothing is quite as it seems.... The most famous of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories, The Hound of the Baskervilles is a classic of masterful detection and hair-raising suspense. Includes an Afterword by Anne Perry
