The Valley of Fear
Arthur Conan Doyle
Publisher: Penguin Classics | Format: Paperback | Page Count: 224
Moriarty's menace is academic before it is criminal. He is the author of a treatise on the binomial theorem and The Dynamics of an Asteroid, a work so rarefied that no man in the scientific press was capable of criticising it. Doyle understood that an unreviewable book is the perfect emblem of an untouchable mind. The whole modern genre of the genius antagonist descends from this single piece of imaginary bibliography.
