Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes - Korku Vadisi (Sherlock Holmes and The Valley of Fear) romanini 7 Ocak 1888 tarihinde yazmaya basladi.
“Oysa Moriarty her turlu kotulugun planlayicisi, butun zamanlarin en buyuk hilebazi ve yeralti dunyasinin beyni. Hatta belki de yaptiklari ile ulkelerin kaderini bile etkilemis bir beyin. Iste Moriarty gercekte boyle bir adam. Ancak gorunusune ve tavirlarina bakarsan, sanki tam tersine bir adammis dusuncesine kapilabilirsin. Insana suphe uyandirmaktan uzak, alcakgonullu ve mukemmel biriymis izlenimi veriyor. Ustelik her seyi istedigi gibi yonlendirmekte de oldukca basarili. Oyle ki, soyledigin cok normal elestiriler icin bile seni mahkemeye dusurebilir ve incinmis ruhu icin tazminat alabilir.”
“But in calling Moriarty a criminal you are uttering libel in the eyes of the law—and there lie the glory and the wonder of it! The greatest schemer of all time, the organizer of every deviltry, the controlling brain of the underworld, a brain which might have made or marred the destiny of nations—that’s the man! But so aloof is he from general suspicion, so immune from criticism, so admirable in his management and self-effacement, that for those very words that you have uttered he could hale you to a court and emerge with your year’s pension as a solatium for his wounded character.”
