When a masked Count hires Sherlock Holmes to retrieve incriminating evidence, he is plunged into a world of fraud, political intrigue and armed assassins. Will the scoundrel regain his property, or will Miss Adler become the first woman to truly outsmart the great detective? Meanwhile, thirty years earlier, a time traveller arrives in the slums of Old London, intent on exacting the most daring masterplan in history. His name... Professor James Moriarty. Conspiracies. Assassins. Time Machines. The Scoundrel of Bohemia begins a new journey for Sherlock Holmes, reinventing his career in the Moriarty Paradigm--a very different British Empire where the words of Conan Doyle stand alongside the science of Wells and Verne in the first of a series of mash-ups set to reimagine the original canon as it would happen in a steampunked world.
