About this ebook
First in the Moriarty Trilogy—“Moriarty holds sway with all the ruthless guile, power, and pomp you’d expect from a gaslight era godfather” (Los Angeles Times).
Once again, the game is afoot . . . What really happened in Switzerland between Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes in 1891? And why is Holmes, now in London at 221B Baker Street, curiously uncooperative with Scotland Yard’s inquiries? Furthermore, why has Moriarty planned a grand meeting with the international crime syndicate? These are the questions that make up the larger mystery of the sinister Professor Moriarty’s return.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/51809s London underworld: is there a better setting? Another great one from Gardner. I don't usually care for the "other side of the story" novel, but this one is unusually good. Note, however, that it is quite like its sequel. Not really sure why Gardner made two books with such striking plot similarities. Not quick Doyle, but it's not supposed to be, is it?
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I thought the author of "The Wreckage of Agathon" had taken a flyer into the world of Sherlock Holmes. It's another man entirely, and the work is pretty standard.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/51894 It would seem that Professor Moriarty like Sherlock Holmes has returned from the dead. Ready to take over his organisation again, an organisation he had left to Colonel Moran to run. But will it be easy to take power back, what obstacles will occur and what plans does he have for the future.
An interesting and enjoyable well-written historical mystery
