Des cris lugubres résonnent sur la lande... Et voici que la légende prend corps. Un chien énorme, créature fantomatique et infernale, serait à l'origine de la mort de sir Charles Baskerville. Maudit soit Hugo, l'ancêtre impie et athée, qui provoqua, en son temps, les forces du mal ! Mais Sherlock Holmes ne peut croire à de telles sornettes. Aussi, lorsqu'il dépêche le fidèle Watson auprès de sir Henry, l'héritier nouvellement débarqué d'Amérique, il ne doute pas de mettre rapidement fin à ces spéculations. Pourtant, la mort a frappé plusieurs fois sur la lande. Et le manoir est le théâtre de phénomènes bien étranges... Se peut-il que la malédiction des Baskerville pèse encore ?

From The Adventure of the Gloria Scott to His Last Bow we follow the illustrious career of this quintessential British hero from his university days to his final case. Sherlock Holmes's efforts to uncover the truth take him all over the world and into conflict with all manner of devious criminals and dangerous villains, but thankfully his legendary powers of deduction and his faithful companion Dr. Watson are more than up to the challenge.
