Before he was Sherlock's rival, Moriarty fought against the unfair class caste system in London by making sure corrupt nobility got their comeuppance. But even the most well-intentioned plans can spin out of control--will Moriarty's dream of a more just and equal world turn him into a hero...or a monster?
While a new street drug quietly eats away at the streets of London, the eerie death of a young noblewoman of a now-penniless family catches the eye of the Great Detective Sherlock Holmes. The twists and turns of his investigation soon uncover a crumbling estate filled with exotic beasts, an eccentric father with an unhealthy obsession toward his daughter, and a secretive tribe of nomadic Romani. But how are all of these clues connected? And what do they have to do with the mysterious "speckled band"?
Arthur Conan Doyle was born in 1859. He trained to be a doctor at Edinburgh University and eventually set up a medical practice in Southsea. During the quiet periods between patients, he turned his hand to writing, producing historical novels such as Micah Clarke and adventure yarns including The Lost World, as well as four novels and fifty-six stories involving his most celebrated creations, Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. Doyle was knighted in 1902. In later life he devoted much of his time to his belief in Spiritualism, using his writing and celebrity as a means of providing funds to support activities in this field. He died in 1930.
