Anthony Horowitz's Moriarty is a thrilling
mystery which explores what really happened when Sherlock Holmes and his arch nemesis Professor Moriarty tumbled to their doom at the Reichenbach Falls.
Like the first book 'The House of Silk', Moriarty is quite good and gives feeling like a real Sherlock story. It is fun to read, and has the atmosphere of a Conan Doyle story.

The cleverness behind the crimes and the detailed narrative spark
multiple echoes of Holmesian
elements while producing something new.
This clever thriller is sure to please Sherlock fans. A riveting and deeply atmospheric tale of murder and
menace, Moriarty breathes life into Holmes's dark and fascinating world.

Author: Pranab Mukherjee
Publisher: Rupa Publications India
India, Price: ` 399
The Dramatic Decade by Pranab Mukherjee, focuses on one of the most fascinating periods in the life of this nation, the decade of the 1970s.
This was the decade when Pranab da committed himself to the role of a political activist. As one of the keen observers and participants in this
dramatic decade, Pranab Mukherjee's insights are invaluable. Indeed.
The sequence of events after Emergency and till Indira Gandhi-led Congress returning to power at the Centre has been dealt very well.
Especially the actions of senior party leaders to carve Congress
independent of Indira ji and their
failure is well captured.
One thing is clear from the
book - Pranab Da was with Indira ji throughout the good and bad days. That is commendable of this maverick politician for his loyalty and belief on Indira ji's capability as a leader of such a vast country like India.
