Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson confront a chilling mystery on the moors in this classic tale by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A country doctor visits 221B Baker Street, recounting the eerie legend of the Hound of the Baskervilles, which warns the Baskerville family descendants to avoid the moors, lest they encounter a devilish beast. While such a story may seem absurd to a rational mind, the sudden death of Sir Charles Baskerville, accompanied by the discovery of giant hound footprints near his body, compels Holmes and Watson to investigate. As they delve deeper, they uncover a web of intrigue where nothing is as it appears. The Hound of the Baskervilles stands as one of the most celebrated Sherlock Holmes stories, showcasing masterful detection and spine-tingling suspense.

It wasn’t anyone’s idea of a glamorous first assignment at a white show law firm. George Cary, former WWII bomber pilot and newly minted lawyer, was given the ignoble task of going through the tons of files on the Schneider Johnson case, just to make sure nothing had been overlooked. But, as luck would have it, George did discover something among the false claims and dead-end leads that made this into more than just another missing-heir-to-a vast-fortune case. And what he found would connect a deserter from Napoloeon’s defeated army to a guerrilla fighter in post-war Greece, and lead Cary himself into a dangerous situation where his own survival will depend more on what he learned in the army than anything he learned in law school.
