Synopsis

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

Professor James Moriarty, writing from the shadows, refuses to accept the verdict and sets out the defence Holmes can no longer offer, framed as a confession. Set in a deliberately altered version of the Holmes world, this dark Victorian counter-narrative turns on false testimony, poisoned friendship and reputational ruin, and asks what becomes of truth when an honest witness is wrong.
