Sherlock Holmes is dead.
Days after Holmes and his arch-enemy Moriarty fall to their doom at the Reichenbach Falls, Pinkerton agent Frederick Chase arrives from New York. The death of Moriarty has created a poisonous vacuum which has been swiftly filled by a fiendish new criminal mastermind. Ably assisted by Inspector Athelney Jones, a devoted student of Holmes's methods of investigation and deduction, Chase must hunt down this shadowy figure, a man much feared but seldom seen, a man determined to engulf London in a tide of murder and menace.
The game is afoot . . .

Amazing
This is by far my favourite book this year. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
Can’t recommend.
Deliberately disconnects itself from a lot of what was previously understood about the character and also the ‘adventure of the final problem’. There are cameo appearances that feel like a meaningless attempt to force a reference. Inspector Jones feels like he was randomly chosen to fit into a completely new mould, when making another character altogether would’ve been better. The ultimate twist at multiple points revealed things that made me wonder why I should give a toss about both the events of the book and Moriarty himself.
