HarperCollins is proud to introduce its new series of beloved, essential classics. "They all agreed it was a huge, glowing, terrible, and ghostly creature." Originally published in The Strand Magazine, Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles follows the infamous Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson as they investigate the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville, whose body is found in the foggy and lonely moors of Devon. Locals attribute the death to the legend of the terrifying phantom dog, which they claim has haunted the Baskerville family for generations. When the heir to the Baskerville estate, Sir Henry, is also threatened, Holmes' detective skills are put to the test as he struggles to uncover the truth behind the legend and solve one of the most macabre mysteries of his career.
