In the original Sherlock Holmes canon, Sebastian Moran (second-in-command to Professor Moriarty) is said to have once "crawled down a drain after a wounded man-eating tiger." When I decided to do a modern-day adaptation of Moriarty and Moran, I didn't want that event to be buried in Moran's backstory--I wanted to see him do the utterly insane thing.
I then watched a documentary called "Britain's Tiger Kings," about exotic animal ownership in the UK, and the idea of a live tiger as the fiddle in a classic fiddle game con began to take shape. The result was "Sebastian Moran Gets Mauled by a Tiger," which is out on November 14.
