Riassunto

When a large shipment of gold disappears en route to England, Sherlock Holme, knows that only one man is clever enough to pull off such an outlandish and theoretically impossible crime: Professor James Moriarty. Moriarty, however, had nothing to do with the crime, but to regain his peace he undertakes to locate the missing gold, and soon finds himself matching wits with a mind as nimble - perhaps even more so - than his own.

Recensione:

Michael Kurland has made Moriarty more interesting than Doyle ever made Holmes. --Isaac Asimov

"Kurland returns with The Great Game, which is every bit as successful as its predecessors at bringing fin de siecle Europe to brilliant life... the action veers and twists like that in a contemporary spy thriller."--Booklist

A deliciously complex and abundantly rewarding novel... remarkable talent... Surprises abound... This is no ordinary Holmes pastiche... Uncommon are the pleasures such writing affords. --Publishers Weekly

"Michael Kurland has taken the legend of Professor Moriarty one stage further and placed him firmly centre stage, with staggeringly good results, and his series of Moriarty adventures comtinues apace with this highly atmospheric and beautifully written latest episode. A real feel for the period, excellent characters and a twisted plot that will have you scratching your head at its perplexity.."--Books Monthly

"Once you are gripped you are gripped until the end. Kurland's character development is certainly one of his strengths and every person, event, or location in The Empress of India is believable and warranted, there is absolutely no filler." ----The Cult Den
