Moriarty's Winter

The Continuing Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes

De: C. Thorne

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Come along into the gas-lit days of long-ago, when Queen Victoria ruled an age named in her honour, and dare to peer into the dark heart of the underworld empire of Professor James Moriarty, a foe whom Sherlock Holmes begrudgingly dubbed “the Napoleon of Crime.” Set across the season of winter—matching the cold soul of Holmes’ greatest foe—witness a daring plot hatched in the brilliant but long-corrupted mind of Professor Moriarty grow to fruition amid the labour of many months in his unseen world of criminal enterprises. Set in London in 1886, this short story diverges from the usual Sherlock Holmes narrative, and tells instead of an otherwise lost chapter in the machinations of a man of whom we know little, but whose grip on London’s underworld reaches tentacle-like into every corner of the city, and touches the lives of unsuspecting residents, rich and poor alike. Beginning with a burst of unapologetic audacity and ending with a climax that reveals a good deal more of himself and his forces than the dreaded Professor would ever have allowed, Moriarty’s Winter is the twenty-fifth and latest addition to C. Thorne’s ongoing The Continuing Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes.
