The Official Papers into the Matter Known as - The Hound of the Baskervilles (DCC/1435/89 Refers)

More about the book

A dusty folio of official documents caught the eye of an experienced retired detective at an obscure auction room in Exeter. These original police reports chronicle the progress of the investigation from the police perspective, something never seen before. The folio consists of reports from the Metropolitan Police and the Devon County Constabulary as well as the Governor of HMP Dartmoor and the Pathologist who examined both Sir Charles Baskerville and Arthur Selden. The folio concludes with police witness statements from all of the principals together with numerous items of private correspondence and even some original photographic plates and provides a unique insight into the workings of the police and a hitherto unseen side to the official investigation into The Hound of the Baskervilles. Possibly a fun resource for educators.
