Moriarty the Patriot. Volume 1: Ryosuke Takeuchi

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?

In the late 19th century, Great Britain rules over a quarter of the world. Nobles sit in their fancy homes in comfort and luxury, while the working class slaves away at their jobs. When young Albert James Moriarty`s upper-class family adopts two lower-class orphans, the cruelty the boys experience at his family`s hands cements Albert`s hatred of the nobility he was born into. He asks the older of the two boys-who has a genius mind and a killer instinct-to help him rid the world of evil, starting with Albert`s own family!

Based on the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
