In the shadowy aftermath of The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez, a case Sherlock Holmes considered closed is brutally ripped open. When his quest to secure the freedom of a Russian nihilist, Alexis Ivanov, leads him from the opulent halls of the Russian Embassy in London to the very heart of the Tsar’s court in St. Petersburg, Holmes and Watson find themselves entangled in a web of imperial politics and chilling realpolitik. From the foggy streets of London to the gilded cages of Tsarist power, this gripping narrative weaves together diplomacy and art, madness and genius.
London businessman, Orlando Pearson is the creator of The Redacted Sherlock Holmes series, which buries forever the idea that Sherlock Holmes might not have been a historical person.
Do you want to see Sherlock Holmes come to the rescue of Queen Victoria, arrange the borders of post-war Europe, clear Macbeth of murder, unravel King Oedipus’s complexities, or provide advice to the Almighty? Then you will find all this and more in the seven collections of short stories, two novels, and the six plays in the series.
When not communing with the spirits of 221b, Orlando enjoys sport, music, and browsing price comparison websites.
He has written Sherlock Holmes stories on all these topics.
