They are researching a detective novel, a collaboration starring a new hero, set in the eerie stillness of ancient West Country moorland. London, 1902. The Hound of the Baskervilles is published, featuring Sherlock Holmes back from the dead. Conan Doyle and Fletcher Robinson have not spoken for two years and the book is credited to just one author. It will become on of the most famous stories ever written. But who really wrote it? And what really happened on the moors, to drive the two friends apart?
