The untold story of Sherlock Holmes' greatest rival, Moriarty!

Before he was Sherlock's rival, Moriarty fought against the unfair class caste system in London by making sure corrupt nobility got their comeuppance. But even the most well-intentioned plans can spin out of control—will Moriarty's dream of a more just and equal world turn him into a hero…or a monster?

William James Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes meet again on a train back to London, and a dead body is discovered in a locked passenger cabin. With John Watson named as the prime suspect, Sherlock challenges Moriarty to a contest of who can solve the murder first. Will Sherlock be able to clear Watson's name?

Back in London, a state secret that only the royal family is privy to has been stolen, and MI6 is tasked with retrieving it, lest the whole empire fall into ruin! Meanwhile, Sherlock is visited by the king of Bohemia, who asks him to cover up a recent scandal.

As Sherlock investigates the murder and the stolen state secret, he uncovers a web of lies and deceit that threatens to bring down the royal family and the entire British government. With Moriarty lurking in the shadows, Sherlock must use all of his skills and wit to save the day and prevent a catastrophic disaster.

In the end, Sherlock emerges as the hero, but at what cost? Moriarty may have been defeated, but his legacy lives on, reminding Sherlock and the world of the dangers of power and the importance of justice.
