Sherlock Holmes: Dark Detective #3

Book excerpt: Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are introduced to an impossible crime; a killing by a mythological creature; the dreaded Chimera, part lion, part scorpion, part goat! But even if the death is some sort of sick hoax, it still means a hideous murder has taken place, which Holmes must solve. However dark forces swirl about the case, and an unsuspecting Holmes, besieged by doubts, has yet to contend directly with the most dramatic of those forces: Professor James Moriarty! THIS ISSUE: The Claws of the Chimera. Part 3 - "Arena of Darkness”. A deadly and fantastic creature stalks London, preying on victims for no obvious common reason. Whilst this case challenges all Holmes’ rational thinking processes he has no choice but to pursue answers, into the dark, and seemingly to oblivion, and Watson has no choice but to follow. At story’s end the truth will out, no matter how disturbing, and just how that truth intertwines Holmes’ actions with those of Professor Moriarty will have lasting ramifications. The epic conclusion. A Caliber Comics release.
