A delightfully fiendish crime thriller from the bestselling author of THE HOUSE OF SILK and A LINE TO KILL
Sherlock Holmes is dead.
Days after Holmes and his arch-enemy Moriarty fall to their doom at the Reichenbach Falls, Pinkerton agent Frederick Chase arrives from New York. The death of Moriarty has created a poisonous vacuum which has been swiftly filled by a fiendish new criminal mastermind. Ably assisted by Inspector Athelney Jones, a devoted student of Holmes's methods of investigation and deduction, Chase must hunt down this shadowy figure, a man much feared but seldom seen, a man determined to engulf London in a tide of murder and menace.
The game is afoot . . .
Praise for Moriarty
-
Thrilling and compelling, with a stunning twist, this is written as if Conan Doyle were at Horowitz's shoulder, and is - in my view - the finest crime novel of the year. - DAILY MAIL
-
Is there nothing Anthony Horowitz touches that doesn't turn to gold? ...He captures Conan Doyle's narrative technique to perfection. Gory murders, honest thieves, brilliant disguises, breathless chases and red herrings abound - DAILY EXPRESS
-
A relentlessly fast-paced and entertaining read - SUNDAY TIMES
-
I hope it won't be the last of Horowitz' Holmes novels: should he publish another, I will be at the front of the queue. - SPECTATOR

An exhilarating page-turner - SUNDAY POST
