I have added something about the Hound of the Baskervilles, but anything else will need to be added by someone else. There will be a subsection on Dartmoor Prison when I can lay my hands on one of my books which has gone missing. --Martin Wyatt 18:48, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

The Sittaford Mystery (in UK The Murder at Hazelmoor) by Agatha Christie, 1931, is set on the edge of Dartmoor and also has an escaped convict. I *thought* there were many others -- I'll have to do a little research. I think there's a Carter Dickson one too.... Hayford Peirce 16:43, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
