A fantasy based upon fiction, which finds Arthur Conan Doyle tiring of "his" intolerably arrogant Sherlock Holmes and inventing the arch villain, Moriarty, to kill him. But Doyle's dangerous strategy, combined with his passion for raising spirits of the dead, has rather more surreal and dramatic consequences than bargained for. A light-hearted and intriguing investigation of the consequences when fictional characters take on lives and ambitions of their own, against the wishes of the author. In this wryly humorous one-man tale of murder and mystery, the world's greatest detective refuses to leave the stage!
