Any great books with battle of wits/cat and mouse chase between two genius rivals?

Thinking along the lines of Holmes/Moriarty or Light/L from Death Note (though, I'm not looking for manga or anime) Two clever opposites trying desperately to outwit each other. Doesn't need to be criminal/detective stories necessarily, just whatever you think fits the mold.

(Just to let you know, I'm not looking for any mangas, or anime.

Read -The Matarese Circle- by Robert Ludlum.

Enders game, huh? Sounds interesting! Then again, I haven't read any sci-fi books.

The book about two rivals going against each other but have to become allies to defeat the Matarese, right? Looks interesting.

I didn’t either until I read it, you might not like the first one but it gets a lot more interesting after

Anyone else have any recommendations?

... That's a self help book, not a novel. You got any novels with battle of wits/cat and mouse theme to it?

Toshineko_thecatvillain

No? Ok then.

Did you read Enders game yet?

Well, I'm not planning to read it. Not a fan of sci-fi novels.
