Holmes traced him to a theatre in Triplicane, where a Tamil adaptation of Othello was being performed. Moriarty sat in the royal balcony, watching the actor playing Iago.
A chase erupted through the bazaar. Carts of flowers and coconuts flew. Watson fought a Pathan swordsman with a suri , while Holmes dodged poisoned needles disguised as kumkum dots.

The killer was Moriarty—but here, he called himself இருளரசன் (Irularasan – King of Darkness). A genius who had studied ancient Chola warfare and British ballistics. He was selling a new weapon: a silent, smokeless gun that could fire poisoned needles, disguised as a temple lamp.
Holmes held up a small, hollow deepam (oil lamp). "Because in every language, the brightest light hides the deepest shadow."
