| Publisher Description: Holmes and Watson are introduced to an impossible crime; a killing by a mythological creature; the dreaded Chimera, part lion, part scorpion, part goat But even if the death is some sort of sick hoax, it still means a hideous murder has taken place, which Holmes must solve. However dark forces swirl about the case, and an unsuspecting Holmes, besieged by doubts, has yet to contend directly with the most dramatic of those forces: Professor James Moriarty |

From 1999 to 2011, Elsey lived in Sydney, Australia with his wife Lou while working on the TV science fiction series Farscape. He has a long association and fascination with Sherlock Holmes, culminating in creating the aging and de-aging makeups on Ian McKellen for the hit movie Mr. Holmes.

Of Sherlockian significance, his comics resume includes a series of full color illustrated trading-cards of the popular comic-book hero 'The Phantom' for Frew Publishing. However, to cap off his standing as one of the world's foremost Sherlockian illustrators is the fact that local authorities in Switzerland commissioned him to provide a unique, color illustrated plaque of Holmes and Watson that remains on public display in Meiringen, near the Reichenbach Falls! Working on 'Sherlock Holmes: The Dark Detective' has enabled him to bring his various skills and interests together in a uniquely enjoyable fashion. "The game is afoot" indeed! |
