The monstrous Hound of the Baskervilles has been dead for five years, along with its no less monstrous owner, the naturalist Jack Stapleton. Sir Henry Baskerville is living contentedly at Baskerville Hall with his new wife Audrey and their three\-year\-old son Harry.<\/p>Until, that is, Audrey\x27s lifeless body is found on the moors, drained of blood.
