Setting up a medical practice should be simple—but for Dr Watson, it becomes a trial of forms, fees, and forgotten passwords.
As London’s banks parade their promises, each proves as maddening as the last.
Only when Sherlock Holmes intervenes does the true pattern behind banking “competition” emerge.
What seems a trivial annoyance reveals a system designed to resist change and reward inertia.
A quietly brilliant tale where modern frustration meets Victorian deduction.
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.
