The Hound of The Baskervilles (Paperback)

A legend about a spectral hound loose on the Devon moors brings Dr Mortimer to Baker Street, and sends Watson alone to Dartmoor to guard the last of the Baskervilles. Conan Doyle's best known Holmes novel spends much of its middle section away from Holmes himself, with Watson reporting by letter and diary from Baskerville Hall while the moor, its mires and its stone huts, works almost as a second antagonist. Suspicion shifts between a naturalist neighbour, an escaped convict and the servants of the house before the case closes. This 224-page Fingerprint Publishing paperback keeps the investigation intact and reads comfortably across a few evenings. In brief: • The full Baskerville novel in a 224-page paperback • Long stretches narrated through Watson's letters and journal • Dartmoor's fog, mires and prehistoric huts used as working setting • A practical entry point for readers new to Conan Doyle's longer cases Suited to mystery readers, senior school students and collectors of Conan Doyle, issued by Fingerprint Publishing and stocked at Boipoka.
