The Shadow of Reichenbach Falls

> REICHENBACH FALLS >The infamous site of the battle to the death between Sherlock Holmes and his archnemesis, Profesor Moriarty. >For years, readers have had two conficting tales of what happened on that fateful day - in the first, the great detective met his demise, and in the second, he escaped and went into hiding. >What if the truth lies in a third account? >THE SHADOW >Young Carnacki would later become known as the Ghost Finder, his exploits related by William Hope Hodgson in *The ldler*, but he wasn't always a believer in matters that strained the credibility of science. That is, until he encountered an amnesiac being pursued by killers and felt the presence of a far greater evil. >A CHANCE ENCOUNTER >During a picnic at Reichenbach Falls, Carnacki helps the befuddled victim of a murder attempt. But he is unprepared for the game of cat and mouse that ensues when he unknowingly gives aid to a once-great detective - now an assassin's target - an amnesiac Sherlock Holmes. >THE GAME'S AFOOT >From the foot of Reichenbach Falls to the alleys of Whitechapel to the streets of Paris, two intrepid investigators search for answers - one striving to recover his identity, the other to unlock the secrets of the unknown. >In relentless pursuit, there is a shadow of darkest evil.... Whether in the resorts of Meiringen or the asylums of Switzerland, the master criminal Moriarty always seems to be one step ahead. >*The Shadow of Reichenbach Falls* reveals the long-held secret of the supposed "death match at the Falls" between Holmes and Moriarty, where both survived but neither was unscathed. Not since *The Seven-Per-Cet Solution* has a volume unlocked the secrets of this mortal rivalry.
