The Hound of the Baskervilles is a thrilling story set in England's wild countryside. Sherlock Holmes steps out of his 221B Baker Street apartment and goes up against his most fiendish adversary yet.This edition of the Hound of the Baskervilles has been adapted for intermediate level students as well as high school students and is intended to be used as a novel study.

The plot of the novel is based very loosely on the real-life activities of the Molly Maguires and, particularly, of Pinkerton agent James McParland.The novel is divided into two parts: in the first, Holmes investigates an apparent murder and discovers that the body belongs to another man; and in the second, the story of the man originally thought to have been the victim is told.

This, the first Sherlock Holmes novel, includes a long section giving the background for the crime being investigated-a lurid tale of murder and forced marriage inspired by the anti-Mormon literature common in Victorian Britain. As a back-handed recognition of this connection to Mormonism, this edition is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for English developed in the Utah portrayed in the book.This is the first full-length novel published in the Deseret Alphabet and the first book published in the Deseret Alphabet since the 1860's.

Sherlock Holmes receives a mysterious cipher message from an agent of Professor Moriarty. Together Holmes and Watson decipher Moriarty's message which relates that a man named John Douglas is in danger.
