‘The Arcane Society of New York holds close the fortune you seek’

A disgraced socialite who had fled to California is found barefoot in a snowy New York alleyway. There is no sign of how she got there, and she is too traumatised to speak. The only clue is a note found scribbled in the Bible she is clutching. The Arcane Society appears to be responsible – but no one knows anything about them.

Newly qualified doctor Clara Mendel joins the city’s Sabel Club, a once thriving social society now devoted to solving the riddle of Viola Blackman. Clara is determined to help Viola speak again, but she also has an ulterior motive: if she can solve the mysterious case, it may tempt out of the shadows her old sparring partner James Moriarty: nemesis of the legendary Sherlock Holmes.

But as the Sabel Club comes under violent attack, Clara is forced to ask herself to what lengths will the Arcane Society go in order to preserve their anonymity.

And how much trust can she truly place in a master criminal?

Critic reviews

PRAISE FOR THE RETURN OF MORIARTY: 'It shouldn't be possible: To find a completely original spin on one of crime fiction's most famous villains while also staying true to Conan Doyle's legacy. And yet Jack Anderson has done exactly that in this brilliantly clever, historically vivid, and wildly entertaining adventure' (Paul Bradley Carr)
PRAISE FOR THE RETURN OF MORIARTY:
Anderson provides one fascinating puzzle after another and a superb sense of time and place. He delivers a great villain, a great (if unexpected) protagonist, and a great read (Michael Robertson, author of The Baker Street Mysteries)
PRAISE FOR THE RETURN OF MORIARTY:
Come for the title, stay for the domestic hijinks that’ll give the archcriminal a run for his money
