The name alone is enough to light the eyes of today's Sherlock Holmes - a worthy opponent at last. Between them, they are the gears of crime - perfect opposites.
***
This is a story of two self-obsessed outcasts, determined to win against the other but reluctant to end the game. Geniuses in their own right, two forces colliding... It makes for quite the display. Sherlock and Moriarty, two names that - unknown to them now, but they strive for it - are forever stamped aross the expanding horizons of crimes and those who solve them.
As one conflicted, reluctant unit, they battle through bullying (giving, never recieving), fatal duets, broken friendships, drug abuse (in the form of a particular psychopath) and the light-headed rush of when everything comes together.
Together, they could set the world on fire.
Darcy is a mystery to Moriarty. She knows Sherlock. She's smart. Probably smarter than him. But she hides.
When Darcy is called back into action by Sherlock after fifteen years in another country, she is ready to face any challenge that comes her way. But the challenge that she finds, by the name of Moriarty, is a riddle that she just can't work out. It's a game, but the rules keep changing. What she thinks is going to be one small case turns into something bigger, as her world gets turned upside down by a psychopath wearing the Crown Jewels.
