About the Book

After Professor Moriarty survives Reichenbach Falls and Sherlock Holmes dies, Moriarty finds himself caught up in a locked-room mystery Holmes couldn’t solve.

This time, it’s up to Moriarty to crack the mystery, perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes ingenious retellings like the ones by Anthony Horowitz and Laurie R. King.


Upon escaping from Reichenbach Falls, his empire in ruins, criminal mastermind James Moriarty takes the identity of wealthy inventor Hugo Strahm and embarks on a dark pilgrimage to the cliffside manor of Schloss Alber in Bavaria. 

When medical student Clara Mendel returns to Schloss Alber, she finds her childhood home on the verge of ruin. A deadly feud over a priceless heirloom has thrown the Alber family into chaos while its walls play host to an unusual cast of characters–the obstinate Lord Alber, his strange and beleaguered children, their cantankerous butler, and of course, their mysterious new guest, "Hugo Strahm." When one of them is poisoned at dinner, it’s the first act in a spiraling criminal conspiracy, in which any and all of them are suspects.

Working with the sharp and inquisitive Clara, the former crime lord attempts to solve the mystery whilst trying to keep his true identity concealed. Yet despite taking on the role of detective, Moriarty does not share Sherlock Holmes’s methods, nor his interest in justice. Only one thing is certain, for James Moriarty, dying at the hands of Sherlock Holmes would have been an elegant end… The question of what comes next is far more complicated. 

This cleverly plotted mystery is a faithful and inventive take on the Sherlock Holmes legacy, paying homage to Arthur Conan Doyle’s signature style while adding its own devious tricks to the story that is destined to become a must-read classic for Sherlock Holmes fans.

Review :
Praise for The Return of Moriarty:
“The book does slot nicely into the voluminous Holmes literature produced by Gardner, Nicholas Meyer, Laurie R. King, and numerous other writers. Fans should welcome it with open arms.”
Booklist

“Come for the title, stay for the domestic hijinks that’ll give the archcriminal a run for his money.”
Kirkus Reviews

“The book captures the spirit of Conan Doyle and the late 19th century but presents it in a different style.”
Historical Novel Society

“Fans of Laurie R. King, Anthony Horowitz, and Nicholas Meyer’s Sherlock Holmes books will enjoy this look at Holmes’s Nemesis.”
Aunt Agatha's

“Anderson provides one fascinating puzzle after another and a superb sense of time and place. He delivers a great villain, a great (if unexpected) protagonist, and a great read.”
—Michael Robertson, author of The Baker Street mysteries

“It shouldn’t be possible: To find a completely original spin on one of crime fiction’s most famous villains while also staying true to Conan Doyle’s legacy. And yet Jack Anderson has done exactly that in this brilliantly clever, historically vivid, and wildly entertaining adventure. Complex and resourceful, Moriarty and Clara Mendel make for a formidable crime-fighting team–and thank god, because the baffling crimes and ingenious twists in every chapter would defeat any lesser duo.”
—Paul Bradley Carr, author of The Confessions
