Fog, moorland, a cursed dog with hellfire in his eyes, an incomprehensible death: the perfect stage for Sherlock Holmes and the ever-present Watson. A novel that keeps the reader imprisoned in a narrative space somewhere between detective story and terror. The death in question is that of Sir Charles Baskerville, the last occupant of Baskerville Hall: could the legend about a hound of the underworld, a demonic hound stalking the Baskerville family, be true? A perfect clockwork mechanism, a true manual of investigation. And, last but not least, the manifesto of the steely logic of the most celebrated detective in world literature.
