Description of  Professor Moriarty: The Hound of the D'Urbervilles (Professor Moriarty Novels)

Anyone who has ever read a story about the legendary Holmes and Watson has heard of Professor Moriarty and Sebastian Moran. But now Kim Newman sheds light on the secret history of "Basher" Moran and the "Napoleon of Crime" and how they came together to solve the unsolvable and even change the course of history itself...all in the name of profit and, sometimes, occasional sheer bloody-mindedness. As with Newman's previous works, I immediately found myself immersed in the Victorian age, surrounded by a colorful and entertaining cast I would not dare turn my back on...nor would I want to. Sometimes there's good to be found in evil...also friendship, and sadness, and even a strange sort of honor. I tore right through this book and found myself wanting more.
