Moriarty

Anthony Horowitz has been asked by Ian Fleming’s estate to write a James Bond book. And it’s easy to see why, as his second Sherlock Holmes instalment is a delight.

Moriarty takes place after Holmes and his eponymous rival have fallen over the Reichenbach Falls. Holmes and sidekick Dr Watson appear briefly before Horowitz introduces us to his two central characters – Frederick Chase of New York’s Pinkerton Detective Agency and Scotland Yard inspector Athelney Jones.
