The Baskervilles have long been believed to be cursed. When Sir Charles Baskerville dies of a heart attack, his horror-stricken face and the footprints of a monstrous hound near his dead body tell a different story than the obvious natural cause. When Sir Henry, the only known living Baskerville, reaches London from Canada to take possession of the estate, he receives a note warning him to stay away. Nobody but a close family friend is supposed to know of his whereabouts. It is a great mystery for Sherlock Holmes to jump in but he will need a lot more than his deductive reasoning this time if he wants to solve it. Published in 1902 The Hound of the Baskervilles was the third Sherlock Holmes novel by Arthur Conan Doyle written eight years after his last Holmes story. In fact, it is the most popular Holmes novel and marks the beginning of a second life for the maestro.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was born in Edinburgh, Scotland from where he did his graduation in medicine in 1881. He had started writing and publishing short stories to some acclaim during his student life but it was after the publication of A Study in Scarlet, his first Sherlock Holmes work that he became widely famous. Arguably the best crime fiction character ever, Sherlock Holmes practically made Doyle immortal as a writer. Featuring Holmes he wrote 4 novels and 56 short stories. Doyle was a prolific writer and in addition to his Holmes oeuvre he wrote many other novels and short stories. Among them The Lost World is another great work of fiction.
