'Il mastino dei Baskerville' un libro che, secondo le intenzioni dell'autore, non avrebbe mai dovuto vedere la luce. Perché nell'avventura precedente Sherlock Holmes era precipitato, insieme al suo acerrimo nemico Moriarty, in un crepaccio, inghiottito dalle tenebre. Un finale che non riuscì gradito ai lettori. E così, costretto dalle insistenze del pubblico e dell'editore, Conan Doyle fece 'resuscitare' il suo personaggio abbandonando il genere del romanzo storico cui avrebbe preferito dedicarsi. Il risultato è questo Mastino dei Baskerville, edito nel 1902.
