The Improbable Tales of Baskerville Hall Book 2: The Sign of the Five
關於這本電子書
When Arthur Conan Doyle returns to Baskerville Hall, a secretive school for extraordinary students, he’s excited to begin winter term with the friends he loves. However, soon after his arrival, a dangerous foe threatens his favorite professor, Sherlock Holmes, and all signs seem to point to a force that Arthur had hoped he’d seen the last of…the Green Knight. But Sherlock isn’t the only target; others begin to fall prey as well. The question is: How are they all connected?
In the ultimate race against time, Arthur will have to dodge old enemies, befriend new faces, and brave encounters with spirits to solve the mystery before it’s too late. But there are more puzzles to solve than one; it seems a new term at Baskerville Hall may test not only Arthur’s wits…but his friendships too.
