The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle

Chapter 1→

The Hound of the Baskervilles is a crime novel set largely on Dartmoor 1889. At the time of researching the novel, Conan Doyle was a General Practitioner in Plymouth, and thus was able to explore the moor and accurately capture its mood and feel. In the novel, the detective Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson are called to investigate a curse which is alleged to be on the house of the Baskervilles.— Excerpted from The Hound of the Baskervilles on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
