The Shadow of Reichenbach Falls (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

"Reichenbach Falls. The infamous site of the battle to the death between Sherlock Holmes and his archnemesis, Professor Moriarty.

For years, readers have had two conflicting 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?"

"Young Carnacki would later become known as the Ghost Finder, his exploits related by William Hope Hodgson in The Idler, 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."

"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."

"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.
