In the tradition of the old Ace Double two-in-one books (flip one book over to read the other), heres the seventh Wildside Mystery Double:VICTORIAN VILLAINY: A Collection of Moriarty Stories, by Michael Kurland. Among the worlds great fictional villains, Prof. James Moriarty, Sherlock Holmess chief nemesis, stands alone. But how evil was he? These four stories suggest that Moriarty wasnt evil at all--and the reason for Holmess characterization of him as The Napoleon of Crime was quite simple: Moriarty was the smarter of the two, and Holmes just couldnt stand it! Great Victorian mystery tales!THE TRIALS OF QUINTILIAN: Three Stories of Romes Greatest Detective, by Michael Kurland. Set at the height of the Roman Empire, these tales chronicle one of the few actual crime-solvers known to have lived in the ancient world. Quintilian, a teacher, jurist, and friend of Emperor Vespasian, was also something of a detective. The first tale in this volume, Blind Justice, is based on an actual case hes said to have solved while acting as defense counsel in a trial. Great historial mysteries!
