Moriarty: Clockwork Empire by Fred Duval, Jean-Pierre Pecau

In an alternate history of the London you know and love, Holmes and Watson are on the case of evil card-playing clockwork automatons, the case of a monstrous beast killed in the smoky backroom of an opium den, and the strange alter ego of one Henry Jekyll…

Who could be behind all these Machiavellian schemes? Holmes only has one clue… M.O.R.I.A.R.T.Y…
