So there I was, minding my own business when that dastardly evildoer’s name popped up on my security screen. Professor James Moriarty was up to his old habits, literally escaping the hangman’s noose in the first five minutes of a restored Lumière moving pictures Cinematograph. The case may have been part of the Moriarty Canon, but one and a quarter centuries later remains unmentioned In the official Holmes Canon.
Unfortunately, Holmes does not revert to his brilliant disguise as Jeremy Brett. Despite this, as a public service, we share with you this previously untold history titled Hands of a Murderer. If you prefer to watch this later during your own criminal pursuits, here is a link for your tablet or phone:

And now, Hands of a Murderer:
Thanks for the tip- I will have a look!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Janice. I hope you enjoy.
DeleteI will take a look, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eve. I think Moriarty shares a bit of DNA with Voldemort.
DeleteAm I allowed to complain about the growing tendency to use video as SleuthSayers posts? I always look forward to reading what you guys write!
ReplyDeleteLiz, we sometimes use videos to illustrate an issue, but you're perceptive. If we have a canellation, particularly a last minute illness or other dire emergency, we rush in a Shifty cartoon. If we have more time, we tend to use a more expansive or nuanced deployment.
DeleteIn my case, I've been working on a large article following a week of doctors and emergency rooms for friends and family. I realized I had too much work to meet deadline. I'd been watching detective movies and chose to share it. So yes, your compaint is justified.
Leigh, you're not the only one, and in this case, sounds like you've got some very good excuses, so I withdraw the complaint.
