In the aftermath of the Reichenbach Falls, Sherlock Holmes moves unseen through Europe, officially dead and dangerously free. But anonymity proves short-lived. Detained at the Russian border and unmasked by the Okhrana, Holmes is forced into the service of the Tsar’s secret police with a stark choice: cooperate, or disappear into the salt mines of Siberia. A Celestial Mystery is a lost case from the hidden years of Sherlock Holmes—an elegant and unsettling tale of coercion, creativity, and conscience, where deduction collides with tyranny and the faintest notes of beauty may decide a man’s fate.
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.
