Reviews
A young British barrister matches wits with a would-be Moriarty while unraveling a modern mystery...Features a thrilling climax. -- Kirkus Reviews Robertson's second mystery featuring barrister Reggie Heath...offers pacing, prose, and plotting at a level far above that of its predecessor...An extremely clever evil scheme will delight readers. -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Sherlock Holmes isn't back, but Dr. Moriarty is, sort of, in this delightful romp that offers more tension and suspense than a dozen fat thrillers with bloody knives on the cover. It still manages to be funny, rather in the Kingsley Amis manner...The last third of the novel, with its murder-and-chase scene, is one of the finest, scariest sequences in current crime fiction...For anglophiles, crime-o-philes, and all fans of wonderful writing. -- Booklist (starred review) The premise here is as intriguing as that of Barry Grant's novels...Great fun. -- Library Journal (starred review)
