White Hats, Black Hats

Blogger Jen Forbus kicks off her Heroes and Villains Theme Week by posting the concluding ballot in her recent Heroes and Villains bracketed tourney.

The final match-up: Arthur Conan Doyle’s Professor James Moriarity vs. Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch. Click here to register your choice between those two. (Personally, I’m going with the man Sherlock Holmes called “the Napoleon of crime.”)

Other posts associated with this opening day of the theme week can be found here and here. Future installments should be accessible here.

FOLLOW-UP: “We, as readers, definitely favor our great heroes over the great villains,” Forbus wrote on April 26. “That may be why we love crime fiction so much ... we’re looking for the heroes to take care of the crime around us. Anyway, once again, Harry Bosch took the tournament beating out Professor Moriarty almost 3 to 1.”
