Viele Jahre lang haben Sherlock Holmes und Professor Moriarty einander aus der Ferne beobachtet und Stellvertreterkriege geführt. Nun ist die Zeit gekommen, dass sie sich einander stellen!

An den Reichenbachfällen in der Schweiz kommt es schließlich zum letzten Duell der beiden Erzfeinde ….

The deadly final encounter between Professor Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes took place at Reichenbach Falls on 4 May 1891. But when was their first encounter?
