The Hound of the D'Urbervilles

Imagine the twisted evil twins of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson and you have the dangerous duo of Professor James Moriarty — wily, snake-like, fiercely intelligent, unpredictable — and Colonel Sebastian 'Basher' Moran — violent, politically incorrect, debauched. Together they run London crime, owning police and criminals alike. Unravelling mysteries — all for their own gain. A hugely enjoyable, and fiercely clever romp from acclaimed novelist Kim Newman.
