With its rich history and its scenic beauty, Dartmoor is one of the loveliest places in England. Ironically, it is also one of the most forbidding, dominated by a notorious prison. In late March of 1901, Conan Doyle came to Dartmoor to write what many consider his most compelling tale, "The Hound of the Baskervilles." In this eighth Robin Paige mystery, Doyle is joined at Dartmoor by Kate and Charles Sheridan--Charles to develop a fingerprinting program at the prison, Kate to do research for her next book, a Gothic novel. Doyle is also joined by the lovely Jean Leckie, his intimate friend (who later becomes his second wife). There are plots a-plenty in this intricately-woven story, together with lush descriptions of a beautiful landscape and lots of Gothic atmosphere. A must-read addition to the Robin Paige series!
