Most people see patterns in spreadsheets. I see them in murder. After two decades in IT leadership solving complex problems, I realized the most elegant puzzle in literature was unsolved: Who was Professor Moriarty before he became the Napoleon of Crime—and why would such a calculating genius challenge Sherlock Holmes to hand-to-hand combat at Reichenbach Falls when he knew Holmes practised baritsu (bartitsu)? Doyle gave us a villain in fragments; I set out to build the man they imply. As an advanced chess player, I understand the mathematics of position. As a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt, I know how leverage becomes philosophy and pressure becomes weapon. These aren't hobbies—they're the architecture of how Moriarty thinks. Every technique in all fight scenes is grounded in authentic jiu-jitsu. Every strategic calculation mirrors the way a grandmaster sees many moves ahead. MORIARTY: The Napoleon of Crime is the first volume of The Victorian Moriarty Saga—written with fidelity to Doyle's canon and an equally obsessive determination to answer the questions Doyle left tantalizingly open. When I'm not writing the Professor's next move, you'll find me on the tatami pursuing my black belt, over a chessboard, or hunting for the next shadow hiding in plain sight within classic literature. The game has only begun. Follow me here on Amazon to find out about new releases.
