  • NOIR FACTORY PODCAST CASE #23- The Real Life Inspiration for Professor Moriarty. “He is the Napoleon of crime, Watson. He is the organizer of half that is evil and of nearly all that is undetected in this great city, He is a genius, a philosopher, an abstract thinker. He has a brain of the first order.
