Sherlock Holmes Mystery of the Standing Stone: A Sherlock Holmes Resurgent Mystery

By Mr. J. B. Varney

On a dark and stormy spring evening Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson were dining quietly at Mancini's Italian Restaurant on the Strand, when a young man entered the restaurant and approached their table, uninvited. His expression was so strained and his path toward the pair, so direct, that some waiters took hold of him as he reached the table.
"What is the meaning of this?" Holmes asked.
"A thousand pardons gentlemen," said he, still restrained, "but I believe you knew my father at one time, years ago, and were of great help to him in his hour of need."
"What was his name?"
"Sir Henry Baskerville, Baronet, who held title to Baskerville Hall."
The shock of this introduction, so unexpected and unlooked for, opened the door to a case which was so macabre and grisly that Dr. Watson vowed never to publish a word of it.
A series of gruesome deaths in Devonshire, the sudden appearance of an ancient standing stone or menhir upon Dartmoor, the coming of age of the Baskerville heir, all pointed to a grisly plot, but what that might be, or who might be behind it, remains a mystery that only Sherlock Holmes could solve.
