Sherlock Holmes is dead. The world has moved on.
Moriarty hasn’t.
In MORIARTY, a razor-sharp reinvention of the classic mystery canon, the infamous criminal mastermind steps into the spotlight—not as the villain, but as the only one brilliant enough to stop a killer too clever for Scotland Yard and too ruthless for reason.
Three years after Holmes vanished at Reichenbach Falls, Dr. John Watson is lost in grief. But when a series of brutal murders threatens to unravel the world order, Watson is forced into an uneasy alliance with the man he once swore to destroy.
Professor James Moriarty.
Joined by the sharp-eyed Inspector Zenisha Lestrade, the unlikely trio races to uncover a conspiracy that could topple nations—and the truth behind Holmes’s final moments.
Fast-paced, stylish, and full of twists, MORIARTY is a fresh, high-stakes thriller for fans of Anthony Horowitz and anyone who’s ever wondered what would happen if the villain became the last man standing.
The game isn’t over. It’s just begun.
