Sir Charles Baskerville viene trovato morto. Accanto a lui, le impronte di un cane enorme. Nel Settecento, anche un suo antenato, Sir Hugo, era stato ucciso da un mostruoso mastino nelle paludi di Dartmoor. Sulla famiglia Baskerville sembra essersi abbattuta una maledizione, e c’è un solo investigatore in grado di far luce sul mistero. Con l’aiuto del suo assistente Watson, Sherlock Holmes si avventura nelle paludi nebbiose per risolvere un caso avvincente ma decisamente complesso. Come si fa a trovare il movente di un omicidio se l’assassino è un cane che attacca con furia cieca? Chi è, in realtà, l’omicida disumano, il bestiale serial-killer? La trama moderna e attuale, l’ottima ambientazione nell’Inghilterra vittoriana e il gusto gotico di questo romanzo lo rendono un’opera straordinaria e intramontabile.

CRIME & MYSTERY. A master of deductive reasoning who can solve the most difficult crimes by spotting obscure clues overlooked by others, dilettante sleuth Sherlock Holmes was the hero of sixty stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle between 1887 and 1927. He even rose from the dead after Doyle tried to dispatch him in his twenty-fourth adventure, and readers protested. Here, in one volume, are all four full-length novels and fifty-six short stories about the colourful adventures of Sherlock Holmes- every word Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ever wrote about Baker Street's most famous resident. Also included is an introduction by lifetime Sherlockians Barbara and Christopher Roden. The Complete Sherlock Holmes is one of Barnes & Noble's Leatherbound Classics, with an exquisitely designed bonded-leather binding, distinctive gilt edging and a silk-ribbon bookmark.

From the rooms at 221B Baker Street, the mind that strikes fear into heart of London’s criminal fraternity turns its attention to some of the strangest and most intriguing cases ever to be set before the great Sherlock Holmes. Adventures involving an illustrious client and a Sussex vampire; the problems of Thor Bridge and of the Lions Mane; puzzles concerning a creeping man and the three-gabled house; disappearances of secret plans and a lady of noble standing; all test the courage of Dr Watson and the intellect of the greatest detective of them all, Mr Sherlock Homes. This final collection also features the story His Last Bow, the last outing of Holmes and Watson ...
