The Hound of the Baskervilles (Arcturus Ornate Classics, 9)

This elegant gift edition presents one of Sherlock Holme's greatest cases, presented with an ornate gold-embossed cover design and gilded page edges.

The Hound of the Baskervilles is rated as Conan Doyle's best full-length Sherlock Holmes story. Set on Dartmoor it pits Holmes and his faithful assistant, Dr Watson, against a deadly adversary. The specter of the giant hound said to haunt the moor provides a sinister undertone to Holmes investigations into the sudden death of Sir Charles Baskerville and his attempts to protect Baskerville's heir, Sir Henry.

Fast-paced and brilliantly plotted, The Hound of the Baskervilles is a shining example of the timelessness of truly great story-telling.
