The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle

"Holmes and Watson face a so-called family curse on Dartmoor in 1889. Asked by an acquaintance to investigate the recent death of Sir Charles Baskerville and protect the next of kin, Sir Henry Baskerville, Holmes dismisses the curse as nonsense. At Baskerville Hall, Watson must keep on his toes to protect Sir Henry as Holmes gathers clues. From devilish hounds to the deadly Grimpen Mire to an escaped convict, England’s West Country seems determined to take Sir Henry like it took his kin."
