The Hound of the Baskervilles

"The Hond of the Baskervilles is the tale of an incient curse suddenly given a terrifying modern application. The grey towers of Baskerville Hall and the wild open country of Dartmoor hold many secrets for Holmes and Watson to unravel. The detective is contemptuous of supernatural manifestations, but the reader will remain perpetually haunted by the hound from the moor"--Cover, p. 4.
