The Hound of the Baskervilles is a classic tale of suspense and intrigue, and it remains one of the most popular and enduring works of detective fiction.I confess at these words a shudder passed through me. There was a thrill in the doctor's voice which showed that he was himself deeply moved by that which he told us. Holmes leaned forward in his excitement and his eyes had the hard, dry glitter which shot from them when he was keenly interested.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
