âAnthony Horowitz throws down the gauntlet in his infernally clever Sherlock Holmes pastiche.â â Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
The game is once again afoot in this thrilling mystery from internationally bestselling author Anthony Horowitz, sanctioned by the Conan Doyle estate, that explores what really happened when Sherlock Holmes and his arch nemesis Professor Moriarty tumbled to their doom at the Reichenbach Falls.
Horowitzâs nail-biting novel plunges us back into the dark and complex world of detective Sherlock Holmes and Moriartyâdubbed the Napoleon of crimeâ by Holmesâin the aftermath of their fateful struggle at the Reichenbach Falls.
Days after the encounter at the Swiss waterfall, Pinkerton detective agent Frederick Chase arrives in Europe from New York. Moriartyâs death has left an immediate, poisonous vacuum in the criminal underworld, and there is no shortage of candidates to take his placeâincluding one particularly fiendish criminal mastermind.
Chase and Scotland Yard Inspector Athelney Jones, a devoted student of Holmesâs methods of investigation and deduction originally introduced by Conan Doyle in âThe Sign of Fourâ, must forge a path through the darkest corners of Englandâs capitalâfrom the elegant squares of Mayfair to the shadowy wharfs and alleyways of the London Docksâin pursuit of this sinister figure, a man much feared but seldom seen, who is determined to stake his claim as Moriartyâs successor.
A riveting, deeply atmospheric tale of murder and menace from one of the only writers to earn the seal of approval from Conan Doyleâs estate, Moriarty breathes life into Holmesâs dark and fascinating world.
