Holmes and Moriarty: The new official Sherlock Holmes novel from Sunday Times bestselling author

Autor Gareth Rubin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 mai 2025

O sală de teatru. Aceiași spectatori, seară de seară, dar cu măști și identități schimbate. Actorul George Reynolds simte că cineva îi urmărește fiecare replică. Panica se instalează. La Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes și Watson primesc această enigmă care pare, la început, o bizarerie inofensivă. Dar în celălalt capăt al Londrei, profesorul James Moriarty se află într-o cursă contra cronometru. Acuzat de uciderea unui lider interlop, geniul crimei este acum vânat de poliție. Putem afirma că miza nu a fost niciodată mai personală: un inamic comun îi forțează pe cei doi titani să facă imposibilul. Trebuie să colaboreze. La intersecția dintre Moriarty de Anthony Horowitz și The Return of Moriarty de Jack Anderson, această carte combină rigoarea deducției victoriene cu dinamismul unui roman polițist modern. Gareth Rubin aduce aici aceeași precizie istorică și pasiune pentru misterele stratificate pe care le-am observat în The Turnglass sau The Waterfall. Ritmul este febril, iar capitolele alternează între perspectivele celor două tabere, creând o tensiune constantă. Nu este doar un omagiu adus canonului lui Arthur Conan Doyle, ci o reinventare îndrăzneață a dinamicii dintre bine și rău. Cine conduce de fapt jocul? Într-o lume a oglinzilor și a conspirațiilor la nivel înalt, adevărul este singura armă care le-a mai rămas.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte pentru curajul de a pune față în față cele mai mari minți ale literaturii polițiste într-o alianță fragilă. Cititorul va câștiga o perspectivă inedită asupra lui Moriarty, văzut nu doar ca antagonist, ci ca personaj central într-o cursă pentru supraviețuire. Este lectura ideală pentru cei care caută un roman polițist istoric cu ritm alert și o intrigă densă, girată oficial de moștenitorii lui Conan Doyle.

Descriere scurtă

THE CLEVER AND INTRIGUING CRIME MYSTERY FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE INSTANT TOP TEN SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, THE TURNGLASS.
A new Sherlock Holmes novel, endorsed by the Conan Doyle Estate. 

'A wonderfully entertaining, high-speed, high-stakes adventure with two, no FOUR and more, characters from classic detective fiction! An accomplished tribute, true to the spirit of Conan-Doyle, but with a thrillingly original story and enough accomplished inventiveness to captivate and satisfy' Janice Hallett
Two adversaries. One deadly alliance. Together, can they unlock the truth? 

Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson have been hired by actor George Reynolds to help him solve a puzzle. George wants to know why the audience who comes to see him perform are the same people, only wearing different disguises each night. Is something sinister going on and, if so, what?
Meanwhile, Holmes’ archenemy, Professor James Moriarty is having problems of his own. Implicated in the murder of a gang leader, Moriarty and his second, Moran, must go on the run from the police in order to find out who is behind the set-up.
But their investigation puts them in the way of Holmes and Watson and it’s not long before all four realise that they are being targeted by the same person. With their lives on the line, they must form an uneasy alliance in order to unmask the true villain. With clues leading them to a conspiracy far greater than any of them expected, who can be trusted – and who will survive?

'Beautifully written and perfectly capturing the Holmesian spirit. And, yes, sometimes I side with Prof. Moriarty, and I don't care who knows it. Love an evil genius . . .' Vaseem Khan 

'Holmes and Moriarty is a rip-roaring thriller, fast-paced and twisty as the greatest detective and the greatest criminal become unlikely allies against the most formidable foes' Martin Edwards

Recenzii

Holmes and Moriarty by Gareth Rubin is the real deal: an accomplished tribute, true to the spirit of Conan-Doyle, but with a thrillingly original story and enough accomplished inventiveness to captivate and satisfy. The perfect fix for Holmes fans - thoroughly recommended!' JANICE HALLETT

‘Rubin brings Sherlock back to blazing life in this intriguing new mystery’ CRIME MONTHLY

‘Rubin gives Holmes and Moriarty an authentic feel . . . weaving enough Conan Doyle in to feel right and infusing it with an originality . . . convincing, highly entertaining and smart’ CRIMETIME FM

‘If you loved Gareth’s 2023 novel The Turnglass, then make this top of your TBR pile . . . Such a pacy read, and one not just for Holmes fans but anyone who enjoys a race against time’ BELFAST TELEGRAPH 

‘I was literally holding my breath towards the end of the book; I thoroughly enjoyed it’ SOUTH LONDON PRESS 

‘A mouth-wateringly ingenious premise’ THE TELEGRAPH 
 
‘Aiming to slot seamlessly into Conan Doyle’s existing canon rather than upend it, Rubin constructs a tightly plotted, slightly fantastical mystery that is so far up the street of traditional Holmes fans it’s practically knocking down the front door of 221B’ BUZZ MAGAZINE 
 
‘Entertaining and a pleasant addition to a growing post-Conan Doyle canon’ CRIME TIME 
 
 
PRAISE FOR THE TURNGLASS:
