It's the fifth Sherlock Holmes book. It's about a very rich man named Charles Baskerville who died of fright, apparently. His nephew, Henry Baskerville, is to come to England to claim his inheritance and take over the estate. There's a family curse about a demon dog who terrorizes every Baskerville, and it's said that the dog was what frightened Charles so much that he died. Holmes is too busy to go out to the moor to do the case, so Watson is sent instead.
The full manuscript is contained in chapter two of the novel, and it is linked below if you care to read the entire thing.
In essence, Sir Hugo Baskerville, while carousing with friends (circa 1650), kidnaps a maiden from her home, takes her to the Baskerville estate, and locks her in an upper chamber. Sir Hugo is enraged that she escapes, and he sends his hunting hounds after her then flies on his own horse after her. When his friends later find the pair, they find the maiden and Sir Hugo both dead with a "black beast shaped like a hound" standing over him "plucking at his throat." The curse of the hound is said to have "plagued the family so sorely ever since".
The subject of The Hound of the Baskervilles is that there is a beast on the moor, and Sir Henry Baskerville is about to go back there. If he does, he might be killed by the hound, so Holmes and Watson have to solve the crime before that happens. It was Hugo Baskerville that started the curse (circa 1650). :)
