What novel portrays Professor Moriarity as having never actually been a criminal mastermind but in fact a mathematics genius?

JReid

In 'The Seven Percent Solution' Moriarity is depicted as an innocent man whom Holmes suggests to Watson he portray as evil in order to explain his (Holmes) behavior. http://www.pjfarmer.com/woldnewton/Articles8.htm [Link added Feb. 26, 2008 by Zbeckabee] Jun 26 00, 4:03 PM

The novel begins in 1891, when Holmes first informs Watson of his belief that Professor James Moriarty is a "Napoleon of Crime". The novel presents this view as nothing more than the fevered imagining of Holmes' cocaine-sodden mind; it further states that Moriarty was the childhood mathematics tutor of Sherlock and his brother Mycroft). Moriarty meets Watson, denies that he is a criminal and reluctantly threatens to sue Holmes for slander unless the latter's accusations cease. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven_Percent_Solution#Plot Feb 26 08, 6:45 PM
