The Final Mycroft Problem

<h4 data-blogger-escaped-style="text-align: center;">“I had only one confidant—my brother Mycroft.” [EMPT] </h4> <p>Why did Mycroft put himself in harm's way for Sherlock Holmes when the latter faced his arch-nemesis Professor Moriarty? Mycroft put Sherlock up for a night, drove the brougham that took Watson to Waterloo, and kept the rooms up at 221B during the hiatus that ensued. </p> <p> </p> <p>But why didn't Moriarty go after Mycroft? What made him think that "the British government" didn't know about his activities? We explore the role of Mycroft Holmes in "The Final Problem." It's more than a trifle.</p> <div data-blogger-escaped-style="text-align: center;"> <p> </p> </div> <div data-blogger-escaped-style="margin: 0px;"> <div data-blogger-escaped-style="text-align: center;"> <p>Have you left us a rating and review on <a href= "https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/sherlock-holmes-trifles/id1198869691?mt=2" data-blogger-escaped-target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a> yet?
