This is the ultimate Sherlock Holmes story - as the curtain falls on the master of detection. In October 1903, the incredible news reached Baker Street. Moriarty - the great detective's arch-foe - had not died amid the swirling torrents of the Reichenbach Falls. He lived, to plague humanity once more! In a trice, Holmes had mysteriously disappeared, leaving the good doctor alone at the mercy of the Napoleon of Crime. And causing Watson to begin some perilous and far-reaching researches into corners of Holmes's life that have so far remained unrevealed. Why do we know so little about Holmes's brother Mycroft? What was the real relationship between Holmes and Moriarty? And where did Holmes acquire his superhuman skills? The answers are deadly and, as Watson finds, very far from elementary.. Exit Sherlock Holmes goes beyond such novels as The Seven-Per-Cent Solution to entrance and startle the reader by turns in the ultimate Sherlock Holmes story - a gripping saga of suspense and truly stunning surprise.
