Synopsis

After Dr John Watson’s death, a final manuscript is released that makes a shocking accusation: Sherlock Holmes was Jack the Ripper. The evidence is presented as intimate, horrifying and seemingly conclusive, leaving little room for doubt.

Professor James Moriarty, however, refuses to accept the verdict and writes from the shadows to offer the defence Holmes can no longer give. In a dark Victorian counter-narrative shaped by false testimony, poisoned friendship and reputational destruction, the book turns on a final, unsettling question about what happens to truth when an honest witness is wrong. Suitable for readers drawn to alternative takes on classic detective fiction.
