About this listen

The most dangerous confession is the one that makes you sympathise with a monster.

When Sherlock Holmes defeats Professor James Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls, he believes the “Napoleon of Crime” is finished. Then, in the pocket of a discarded coat, he finds the Professor’s private journal—and everything he thought he knew begins to unravel.

Holmes opens not a memoir but a manifesto. In its pages lies the answer to the question: why would a calculating mind like Moriarty’s, knowing Holmes is a formidable fighter, choose close-quarters combat above a chasm?

The journal traces a prodigy’s transformation into the spider at the centre of the web, revealing the intellect and discipline with which he bent London to his will.

Faithful to Doyle’s canon yet boldly original, Moriarty is Victorian noir: atmospheric, immersive, and psychologically razor-sharp. This first volume of The Victorian Moriarty Saga delivers a complete, standalone story while setting the stage for a greater reckoning to come.

Enter his mind—if you dare. You may not wish to leave.
