Moriarty: Clockwork Empire cover

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… In a dark and grimy steam-powered alternate history, Holmes and Watson are still on the case! In this gothic horror-tinged retelling of the classic duo, they’ll face down the legendary Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde, a villainous card playing automaton and the mystery of a hulking monster shot down in an opium den. Who could be behind all these Machiavellian schemes? Holmes only has one clue… M.O.R.I.A.R.T.Y…

You need this!" - Blake's Buzz
