Sinossi
Il mastino dei Baskerville – pubblicato su «The Strand Magazine» nel 1901 – è il più popolare dei racconti di Conan Doyle con protagonista Sherlock Holmes. A Baskerville Hall, splendida tenuta circondata dalla deso-lata brughiera di Dartmoor, un’antica maledizione ha reclamato la sua ultima vittima. Sir Charles Baskerville è morto, il volto orrendamente deformato da una smorfia di terrore. Tre secoli prima un cane mostruoso, gli occhi ardenti di fuoco, il muso grondante di sangue, aveva ucciso il capostipite della famiglia, Hugo Ba-skerville. Il terribile mostro ha forse colpito ancora? Sir Henry Baskerville, il giovane erede della tenuta, si trova in pericolo? Sherlock Holmes è l’unico che può far luce sulla morte di sir Charles e mettere in salvo sir Henry dal tetro destino che incombe sui Baskerville. Ma appena Holmes e Watson cominciano a indagare, un urlo agghiacciante riecheggia sulle colline nebbiose e avverte che il leggendario mastino è pronto a uccidere ancora. L’atmosfera ricca di suspense, la combinazione di classici elementi della detective story con suggestioni gotiche, l’indimenticabile ironia del protagonista fanno del Mastino dei Baskerville uno dei più bei racconti polizieschi che siano mai stati scritti.
