(Original, Unabridged Classic, Premium Hardbound Collector's Edition, Ideal for Gifting)
Arthur Conan Doyle
"The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes."
Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on the Dartmoor moors, his face frozen in terror. A monstrous supernatural hound — said to have stalked the family through generations — is blamed. As the new Baskerville heir arrives from America to claim his inheritance, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson must unravel the truth across treacherous bogs, fog-shrouded moors, and a cast of neighbours with deeply complicated secrets.
Readers are unanimous: if you read only one Sherlock Holmes, this should be the one. The Hound of the Baskervilles is the rare novel that successfully marries the rigorous satisfactions of the detective story with the brooding atmosphere of Gothic horror. The desolate Dartmoor moor becomes a character in its own right, and Watson's narration — with Holmes largely absent and unsettlingly distant — creates a suspense rarely found in the rest of the canon.
This premium hardbound collector's edition with sprayed edges presents Conan Doyle's original, unabridged text — essential reading for every admirer of crime fiction and Gothic literature.
