Another Moriarty/Moran fanfic. Unfortunately it was clear to me who the arsonist was from the start. Such a cliché.

Really like the short 13-page fanfiction focusing on Professor Moriarty. He is asked to solve assassin attempts on the Mob Kingpins daughter, the attempts made setting the house on fire. Although one can guess who the arsonist is from the get-go, the way Moriarity goes about in solving and concluding the case is genius, he is a true evil genius.
