About the Book

A young Sherlock Holmes arrives in London to begin his career as a private detective, catching the eye of the master criminal, Professor James Moriarty. Enter Dr. Watson, newly returned from Afghanistan, soon to make history as Holmes’ companion...

By turns both shocking and exciting, David Stuart Davies’ controversial take on the Holmes mythology is a modern classic in crime fiction that will defy all expectations.

Re-published by Titan Books in 2009 as part of "The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" collection

“A contentious retelling of the early days of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, interesting and well written but not entirely convincing.”
