Description: Labelled the "Napoleon of Crime" by a somewhat unstable Sherlock Holmes, Professor James Moriarty is a prominent scientist, a keen analytical mind, and a dabbler in less savory doings. In March 1891, an unknown caller arrives at Moriarty's door on a matter of great urgency. But before Moriarty can be summoned to speak with him, the stranger is shot by a crossbow bolt loosed by unseen hands. While a lesser man might be daunted, Moriarty is merely intrigued and begins to investigate. What Moriarty discovers is that a cabal is attempting to use assassination to destablize the rule of the crowned heads of Europe. But he also senses that there is more than this operating -- a conspiracy within a conspiracy -- and detects the workings of a mind possibly more clever than his own. Using his agents around the world, Moriarty must outwit his most cunning opponent ever while the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
