A family legend about a hound on the Devon moor brings Holmes out of a silence Doyle had meant to be permanent. The rational explanation has to earn its place against the fog.

About the author

Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories invented a lasting shape for the detective tale: a client at the door, a clue others step over, and a companion who writes it down. More of this shelf for Arthur Conan Doyle.
