Bookroo's summary

When Sir Charles Baskerville dies under mysterious circumstances, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are drawn into a chilling mystery on the moors. A legendary hound is said to haunt the Baskerville family, and now Sir Henry, the heir, is in grave danger. As Holmes and Watson delve deeper, they encounter a shadowy figure and a web of secrets. Can they solve the puzzle before the curse claims another victim, or will the spectral hound prove too formidable even for them?

From the publisher

When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead, his face distorted with shock and horror, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are faced with a sinister and difficult puzzle. A fearsome creature stalks the wild and barren hills of Dartmoor. Is it a demon from the spirit world? Will it defeat their skill and courage? Who is the tall, mysterious figure seen lurking on the moor at night? Can Holmes save Sir Henry, the new owner of Baskerville Hall, from the ancient family curse? Or will the terrifying hound claim yet another victim?
