“Der Fluch von Baskerville”

Not a Conan Doyle, but a Michael Hardwick. And also one which need not fear comparison with the original and which (under its original title: “The Revenge of the Hound”), fits seamlessly into the original series.

England in the summer of 1902; Sherlock Holmes is looking forward to a well-earned retirement, Dr Watson is at last once more contemplating walking down the aisle, but then a story starts to circulate in the press about an enormous shadowy hound said to be on the rampage on Hampstead Heath. A typical summer hoax? Only Sherlock Holmes is capable of putting things together - the uncovering of a German spy ring, archaeological findings in the city of London, and a series of murders in notorious Limehouse.

Michael Hardwick weaves and unravels a wonderful Gordian knot. A story for connoisseurs and certainly one to sit back and savour.
