The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of the four crime novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes. It is set largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin. Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson investigate the case. This was the first appearance of Holmes since his intended death in "The Final Problem", and the success of The Hound of the Baskervilles led to the character's eventual revival. Sir Charles Baskerville, baronet, is found dead on the grounds of his country house, Baskerville Hall. The cause is ascribed to a heart attack. Fearing for the safety of Sir Charles's nephew and the only known heir, Sir Henry Baskerville, coming from Canada to claim his inheritance, Dr James Mortimer travels to London and asks Sherlock Holmes for help. Mortimer explains that the Baskerville family is afflicted by a curse. According to an old account, said to have been written in 1742 and describing events which had occurred a century earlier still, during the English Civil War, Hugo Baskerville was infatuated with a farmer's daughter. He kidnapped her and imprisoned her in his bedroom. She escaped and the furious Baskerville offered his soul to the devil if he could recapture her. Aided by friends, he pursued the girl onto the desolate moor. Baskerville and his victim were found dead. She had died from fright, but a giant spectral hound stood guard over Baskerville's body. The hound tore out Baskerville's throat, then vanished into the night. Sir Charles Baskerville had become fearful of the legendary curse and its hellhound. Mortimer concluded that Sir Charles had been waiting for someone when he died. His face was contorted in a ghastly expression, while his footprints suggested that he was running away from something.

This volume has been freshly edited using clean, modern fonts by human editors, not machine-scanned, contains the complete original text and corrects a number of errors introduced in the many editions published over the years.

Perhaps the most popular of all the Sherlock Holmes stories, The Hound of the Baskervilles was originally published as a serial in The Strand magazine between August 1901 and April 1902. The first appearance of Holmes since his "death" in "The Final Problem," it was immediately successful, meeting the public demand for the return of Sherlock Holmes and permanently securing the future popularity of the fictional detective. The story opens with Dr. James Mortimer traveling to London to ask Sherlock Holmes for help. Sir Charles Baskerville has been found dead on the grounds of Baskerville Hall, victim of an apparent heart attack. But Mortimer fears for the safety of Henry Baskerville, a nephew coming from Canada to claim his inheritance. Explaining that the Baskervilles are subject to a curse dating back to the 17th century, when a giant spectral hound tore out wicked Hugo Baskerville''s throat and vanished into the night, Mortimer discloses that Sir Charles died with his face contorted in a ghastly expression of terror, and Mortimer saw the footprints of a "gigantic hound" near the body. A series of mysterious events in London seems to indicate that Henry is in real danger, persuading Holmes to take up the case, a complex mystery that leads from the streets of London to the barren moors of Devon and the deadly bogs of the "Grimpen Mire," with a scattering of clues and seemingly unrelated events along the way to make this classic tale a thoroughly enjoyable and well-plotted mystery story, all the more so because of the presence of Holmes and Watson. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) is known the world over as the creator of the famous consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes, but was a prolific writer who produced a large body of work ranging from non-fiction and full-length novels to a wide variety of short stories. Doyle''s first major success as a writer came with the debut of Sherlock Holmes in the 1887 publication of "A Study in Scarlet". Holmes was a popular sensation, and more stories followed. By 1891, Sherlock Holmes was enough to provide Doyle a living, but Doyle came to resent Holmes, who kept him from what he considered "more important" work. In 1893 he "killed" Holmes, as the detective and his archenemy, Professor Moriarty, plunged to their deaths at Reichenbach Falls in "The Final Problem". It was no mere publicity stunt. Doyle considered himself finished with Mr. Sherlock Holmes. The public uproar in reaction to Holmes'' "death" shocked Doyle, with even his own mother complaining, and as the clamor continued he was forced to bring the detective back in "The Hound of the Baskervilles", published, to a vast public sigh of relief, in 1901. Ironically, the character Doyle resented as a "distraction" from serious work would ultimately appear in fifty-six short stories and four novels, together with countless adaptations to films, television, cartoons, and modern pastiches by an assortment of authors. Other Sherlock Holmes classics available from Apex Publications in large print editions are The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Sign of the Four, A Study in Scarlet, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, and His Last Bow.
"The curse of the Baskervilles dates to the seventeenth century, when the wicked Hugo Baskerville chased a farmer's daughter across the pitch-dark moor of Grimpen with vile intentions. The poor girl died of fright, but Baskerville's fate was worse-a giant black hound, eyes afire and jaws dripping with blood, tore out his throat and devoured it on the spot. Since then, the specter of that terrible beast has haunted Baskerville Hall, many of whose inhabitants have met violent, mysterious, and tragic ends. News of the latest death is brought to 221B Baker Street by a local doctor who hopes that Sherlock Holmes can solve the riddle of the curse before it claims yet another victim or leaves the hall forever empty. Sir Charles Baskerville perished alone on the edge of the moor, his face twisted in fright, the footprints of a gigantic hound marking the ground twenty yards from where his body was discovered. Has the mythical monster returned? Or does some other villain now inhabit the desolate moorlands? Holmes and Watson will be pushed to the very edge of reason as they seek to discover just who-or what-"
