Nicholas Meyer, The Seevn-Per-Cent Solution' (1974)

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.

The heart of the novel consists of an account of Holmes’ recovery from
his addiction. Watson and Holmes’ brother Mycroft induce Holmes to
travel to Vienna, where Watson introduces him to Dr. Freud. Using a
treatment consisting largely of hypnosis, Freud helps Holmes shake off
his addiction and his delusions about Moriarty, but neither he nor
Watson can revive Holmes’ dejected spirit....
