Overview: Michael Kurland has written many non-fiction books on a vast array of topics, including How to Solve a Murder, as well as many novels. Twice a finalist for the Edgar Award (once for The Infernal Device) given by the Mystery Writers of America, Kurland is perhaps best known for his novels about Professor Moriarty. He lives in Petaluma, California.
Genre: Fiction, Mystery
The Infernal Device and Others (Professor Moriarty #1,2,5): Since their original appearance more than two decades ago, Michael Kurland’s two novels feature Professor James Moriarty – The Infernal Device and Death by Gaslight – have been among the most acclaimed of the works based on the characters first introduced by Authur Conan Doyle. In Doyle’s original stories, Professor Moriarty is the bete noire of Sherlock Holmes, who deems the professor his mental equivalent and ethical opposite, declares him "the Napoleon of Crime, " and wrestles him seemingly to their mutual deaths at Reichenbach Falls. But indeed there are two sides to every story, and while Moriarty may not always tread strictly on the side of the law, he is also, in these novels, not quite about the person that Holmes and Watson made him out to be. In Kurland’s fictions about Moriarty, the truth is finally revealed:
The Infernal Device: A dangerous adversary seeking to topple the British monarchy places Moriarty in mortal jeopardy, forcing him to collaborate with his nemesis Sherlock Holmes.
Death by Gaslight: A serial killer is stalking the cream o England’s aristocracy, baffling both the police and Sherlock Holmes and leaving the powers in charge to play one last desperate card: Professor Moriarty.
The Paradol Paradox: The first new Moriarty story in almost twenty years, it has never before appeared in print.
The Empress of India (Professor Moriarty #4): In the late Victorian days, a large amount of gold is arriving unannounced on the cargo ship The Empress of India. Yet the impossible happens – the shipment of gold disappears en route. Sherlock Holmes, brought in by Her Majesty’s Government, knows that only one man is both diabolical and clever enough to pull off such an outlandish, daring, and, yes, theoretically impossible crime: Professor James Moriarty. Moriarty, however, had nothing to do with the crime and yet finds himself under siege from all sides. To regain his peace, Professor Moriarty undertakes to locate the missing gold. But the gold is only the exposed tip of the iceberg and he soon finds himself matching wits with a mind as nimble – perhaps even more so – than his own.
It seems to exists some conflict about the numeration of the series, as ‘Who Thinks Evil’ figures everywhere as #5, but in the pseudo-omnibus, it’s ‘The Paradol Paradox’ the one numbered as 5. So I left the title of the book unchanged but I consider it as #6 in the title of the thread
