Synopsis

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 in Europe from New York. The death of Moriarty has created a poisonous vacuum which has been swiftly filled by a fiendish new criminal mastermind who has risen to take his place. Ably assisted by Inspector Athelney Jones of Scotland Yard, a devoted student of Holmes's methods of investigation and deduction, Frederick Chase must forge a path through the darkest corners of the capital to shine light on this shadowy figure, a man much feared but seldom seen, a man determined to engulf London in a tide of murder and menace. Author of the global bestseller THE HOUSE OF SILK, Anthony Horowitz once more breathes life into the world created by Arthur Conan Doyle. With pitch-perfect characterisation and breath-taking pace, Horowitz weaves a relentlessly thrilling tale which teases and delights by the turn of each page. The game is afoot...

Brilliant setup, disappointing reveal.
I really enjoyed reading Moriarty, but I felt that the ending really undermined the rest of the book. Our two Detectives work well together and reference H... READ MORE

Insanely Intelligent.
I must admit, it took me a while to really get into this book, mostly because I wanted the guts and gore from the very beginning, but I'm so glad I stuck w... READ MORE

Great take, greater plot-twist!
Great take on Holmesian characters and really does put things into perspective outside of Dr. Watson's normal view, and the plot twist at the end made me s... READ MORE

An entertaining homage to Arthur Conan Doyle
I could easily have believed this was an original Sherlock Holmes story. The writing style seemed very authentic, even if it seemed bloodier than I recall ... READ MORE
