'Mr. Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound!'
The death, quite suddenly, of Sir Charles Baskerville in mysterious
circumstances is the trigger for one of the most extraordinary cases
ever to challenge the brilliant analytical mind of Sherlock Holmes. As
rumours of a legendary hound said to haunt the Baskerville family
circulate, Holmes and Watson are asked to ensure the protection of Sir
Charles' only heir, Sir Henry - who has travelled all the way from
America to reside at Baskerville Hall in Devon. And it is there, in an
isolated mansion surrounded by mile after mile of wild moor, that Holmes
and Watson come face to face with a terrifying evil that reaches out
from centuries past . . .
