"Somewhere in the vaults of the bank of Cox and Co., at Charing Cross, there is a travel-worn and battered tin dispatch-box with my name, John H. Watson, M.D., painted upon the lid. It is crammed with papers, nearly all of which are records of cases to illustrate the curious problems which Mr. Sherlock Holmes has at various times to examine."

The Revenge of Moriarty (1981)

First published in 1975, this is a 1981 U.S. Berkley paperback edition of John Gardner's The Revenge of Moriarty. As with Gardner's first Moriarty book, this cover art refresh tied in with the Berkley Conan Doyle paperbacks, making is appear pseudo-canonical.

The foggy mists are lifting, and who should emerge from the sinister back alleys to reclaim his title as the most dangerous scientific criminal of his time but the nefarious Professor James Moriarty! Rising like a wicked phoenix from the ashes of his own destruction, Moriarty vows to launch a vendetta against the European underworld leaders who turned on him and left him in the clutches of Sherlock Holmes.
