Synopsis

THE CLEVER AND INTRIGUING CRIME MYSTERY FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE INSTANT TOP TEN SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, THE TURNGLASS.

A new Sherlock Holmes novel, endorsed by the Conan Doyle Estate. 

'A wonderfully entertaining, high-speed, high-stakes adventure with two, no FOUR and more, characters from classic detective fiction! An accomplished tribute, true to the spirit of Conan-Doyle, but with a thrillingly original story and enough accomplished inventiveness to captivate and satisfy' Janice Hallett

Two adversaries. One deadly alliance. Together, can they unlock the truth? 

Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson have been hired by actor George Reynolds to help him solve a puzzle. George wants to know why the audience who comes to see him perform are the same people, only wearing different disguises each night. Is something sinister going on and, if so, what?

Meanwhile, Holmes’ archenemy, Professor James Moriarty is having problems of his own. Implicated in the murder of a gang leader, Moriarty and his second, Moran, must go on the run from the police in order to find out who is behind the set-up.

But their investigation puts them in the way of Holmes and Watson and it’s not long before all four realise that they are being targeted by the same person. With their lives on the line, they must form an uneasy alliance in order to unmask the true villain. With clues leading them to a conspiracy far greater than any of them expected, who can be trusted – and who will survive?

'Beautifully written and perfectly capturing the Holmesian spirit. And, yes, sometimes I side with Prof. Moriarty, and I don't care who knows it. Love an evil genius . . .' Vaseem Khan 

'Holmes and Moriarty is a rip-roaring thriller, fast-paced and twisty as the greatest detective and the greatest criminal become unlikely allies against the most formidable foes' Martin Edwards

Goodreads review by Gianluca on September 26, 2024

Solitamente non do voti bassi ai libri perché so che dietro la stesura di un libro c’è tanta ricerca, ore spese cercando di mettere insieme tante idee e voglia di trasmettere emozioni al lettore. Ebbene, in questo libro, non ho trovato nulla di ciò. Attirato dalla trama e un po’ incuriosito dopo ave......more

CONFUSIONE E LACUNE Libro ancora più deludente, se paragonato a "The turnglass", che invece mi aveva fatto impazzire. Ho seguito la trama con interesse solo perché credevo sinceramente che sarebbe migliorata, le premesse (nonché la caratterizzazione dei personaggi) sembravano interessanti. Alla fine,......more

Tw: secondo me non va bene per gli agorafobici. Ho grande stima per chi pubblica apocrifi di Sherlock Holmes. Sono fanfiction che ce l'hanno fatta, che hanno uno status. Come tutte dovrebbero avere, per altro, e come ogni fanfiction che si rispetti sono fatte di wishfulfillment. Nel particolare caso d......more

I personaggi di Arthur Conan Doyle vengono ripresi e portati all'interno di una nuova avventura tra le strade di Londra e i sentieri di un paesino tranquillo in Svizzera.

‘If you loved Gareth’s 2023 novel The Turnglass, then make this top of your TBR pile . . . Such a pacy read, and one not just for Holmes fans but anyone who enjoys a race against time’ Belfast Telegraph
