  "The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax" is one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is one of the eight stories in the cycle collected as His Last Bow, and one of the few stories in which for much of the plot Watson must act alone and try his best with Holmes left in the background.
  Holmes sends Dr. Watson to Lausanne to investigate Lady Frances Carfax's disappearance since he himself is too busy in London. Lady Frances is a lone, unwed woman denied a rich inheritance on account of her sex. She does, however, carry valuable jewels with her. It is also her habit to write to her old governess, Miss Dobney, every other week, but for the past five weeks, there has not been a word from her. She has left the Hôtel National for parts unknown. Her last two bank transactions were cheques, one to pay her hotel bill, and another for £50 to her maid, Miss Marie Devine.

  'The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.'
  
  Often considered the greatest novel from the Sherlock Holmes universe, The Hound of the Baskervilles is a thrilling feat of Gothic horror, murder and, of course, mystery.
  
  On the desolate moors of Dartmoor, a chilling legend of a demonic demon has plagued the Baskerville family for years. Charles Baskerville, who recently retired to the family estate, is soon found dead in a yew alley, supposedly of a heart attack. But his dear friend, Dr James Mortimer, who notices huge paw prints near the body, suspects foul play. Enlisting the help of the unparalleled Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson, Mortimer is determined to protect the last Baskerville heir, Sir Henry, and uncover the truth. As Holmes attempts to separate rational deduction from supernatural dread, the beast strikes yet again, leading Holmes on a path of deceit, greed and staged terror. Pacey, captivating and unpredictable, The Hound of the Baskervilles is a masterclass of detective fiction.
  Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 – 1930) was a Scottish writer and physician. Although he also had an affinity to writing fantasy and science fiction, he is most famous for creating the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. His crime fiction is still widely read, adapted and studied to this day.
