A Study in Scarlet
The Hound of the Baskervilles
Originally named A Tangled Skein, this is the first Sherlock Holmes story. The real strength and the unique quality of the novel lies in the introduction of Holmes and Watson to each other - and those dark early scenes when a corpse is discovered in a derelict house in southeast London. The ultimate crusader against crime and criminals, Holmes' genius is revealed here for the very first time.
The plot of the work is based on the investigation of the death of Sir Charles Baskerville, who died under mysterious circumstances. In the Baskervilles, from generation to generation, the legend of the devil's dog is transmitted which persecutes all members of the family. Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson are in charge of the investigation.
