Mortimer’s friend Sir Charles Baskerville, the elder brother of Henry, had recently died on the grounds of the manor. The discovery of the huge footprints of a large creature near the body raised the question whether he was slain by a phantom beast that stalked the moors surrounding Baskerville Hall. The Baskerville clan had been haunted by a terrifying ghostly hound for generations, and Charles had become fearsome of the legendary curse. As Henry had received a letter urging him to stay away from the manor, \n\nHolmes is skeptical of the theory of the abomination and is unflinching in uncovering the truth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Hound of the Baskervilles\u003c\/i\u003e was the first novel to feature Sherlock Holmes since his alleged death in the short story “the final problem”, published in The Strand Magazine in 1893.
