Synopsis

Professor Moriarty, erstwhile Mathematics professor, is not 'the greatest rogue unhanged' that Sherlock Holmes would have one believe, but rather an amoral genius - and the only man Holmes has ever been bested by. THE INFERNAL DEVICE takes Professor Moriarty from London to Stamboul to Moscow and back, Sherlock Holmes close on his tail, until they both join forces to pursue and capture a man more devious and more dangerous than either of them has ever faced before...

About this title

Review

"Clever, imaginative additions to the... Sherlock Holmes oeuvre." --Choice Magazine

"I liked this incarnation of Moriarty. He was genuinely funny, a man of great intelligence and depth, and yet still a criminal mastermind but Kurland has written him in such a way that you can t help but root for him and hope Sherlock Holmes fails in his mission to bring him down. A must read." --The Cult Den

"In many ways you ll reach the final page liking Professor Moriarty a lot more than Sherlock Holmes himself." --Pissed Off Geek

"A lot of action and compelling plots." ----Baker Street Babes
