Imagine the twisted evil twins of Holmes and Watson and you have the dangerous duo of Prof. James Moriarty - wily, snake- like, fiercely intelligent, unpredictable - and Colonel Sebastian 'Basher' Moran - violent,politically incorrect, debauched. Together they run London crime, owning police and criminals alike. Unravelling mysteries -- all for their own gain.
A spin-off from Titan's highly successful Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes series, The Hound of the D'Urbervilles sees acclaimed novelist Kim Newman (Anno Dracula) take on the fiendish Professor Moriarty.

"It's witty, often hilarious stuff. The author portrays the scurrilous flipside of Holmes's civil ordered world, pokes fun at "guest stars" from contemporary novels and ventures into more outre territory than Conan Doyle even dared." --Financial Times
"Kim Newman has done something really audacious with Conan Doyle's criminal genius... The notion of reinventing Moriarty and Moran as malign dopplegangers of Holmes and Watson may have been done before, but not with the firecracker exuberance that Newman brings to it." --Independent
"It's entertaining and gives a great portrait of an infinitely interesting character... Definitely for fans of Sherlock Holmes, crime fiction and steampunk fiction." --The Daily Rotation
"An inventive take on a literary legend." --Choice Magazine
"A candle burner, you'll have a very hard time putting it down from start to finish... quite likely my favorite release of the year." --Fandomania
"One of my favorite books this year... a wonderful way to revisit the world of Sherlock Holmes from a new perspective, and it is pretty much pure fun." --Hitfix
