The plot of Arthur Conan Doyle's story "The Hound of the Baskervilles" (1902) is based on an old Devonshire legend accidentally heard by the author and motifs from English Gothic novels. An investigation into the strange death of the last representative of an ancient aristocratic family leads Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to a cunning killer who staged a hoax with an attack by a monstrous dog, which, according to legend, has been haunting the Baskerville family for a long time. Jealousy, the struggle for inheritance, the mystery of the family portrait and the appearance of a ghost dog at the end of the story create a unique mystical-detective flavor of one of the best works of Sherlockiana
