From the title The Improbable Tales of Baskerville Hall, fans of Sherlock Holmes can immediately tell that the story is connected to the famous detective. Baskerville appears in the title of one of Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous stories, The Hound of the Baskervilles. Although it was his third novel featuring Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles was not published as a full book at first; it was serialized in a magazine. The story tells of a family curse and a large, ghostly dog. Holmes must rely on logic to discover the truth.
從《巴斯克維爾BOOK1：學院的待解之謎》這個書名中，夏洛克．福爾摩斯迷便能立刻看出此故事與這位名偵探息息相關。巴斯克維爾一詞出現在亞瑟．柯南．道爾最著名的故事之一的標題中 ── 《巴斯克維爾的獵犬》。雖然《巴斯克維爾的獵犬》是柯南．道爾第三部以夏洛克．福爾摩斯為主角的小說，但它最初並沒有以整本書的形式出版；而是於雜誌上連載。該故事講述了一個家族詛咒和一隻巨大的幽靈狗。福爾摩斯必須依靠邏輯來發現真相。
