The Hound of the Baskervilles is a detective novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, first published in 1902. Set on the gloomy Dartmoor moors in Devonshire, the story begins with the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville, apparently caused by a legendary supernatural hound that has haunted his family for generations. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson investigate to protect the new heir, Sir Henry Baskerville. While Watson gathers clues at Baskerville Hall, Holmes secretly works nearby, uncovering a cunning plot. Masterfully blending Gothic horror atmosphere with brilliant deductive reasoning, the novel is widely regarded as one of the greatest Sherlock Holmes adventures ever written.
