The Sleeper’s Cache

di Orlando Pearson

In the shadowy aftermath of "The Bruce-Partington Plans," Dr. John Watson unveils a suppressed and explosive chapter in the career of Sherlock Holmes. When the German spy Oberstein receives a shockingly lenient sentence for murder and espionage, Holmes’s outrage is only the beginning. Recruited by his brother Mycroft—the clandestine cornerstone of the British government—Holmes and Watson are thrust into a desperate race against time. Their mission: to decipher a dying spy’s cryptic clues and locate a hidden cache of secrets before Oberstein is handed over to Germany in a covert diplomatic exchange.

From the foggy streets of London to the ancient stones of Salisbury Plain, the investigation hurtles towards a stunning revelation in the depths of Brunel’s legendary Box Tunnel. But the recovered secrets are not what they seem, and Holmes soon finds himself entangled in a web of statecraft far more sinister and morally ambiguous than any common crime. Faced with torture, suicide, and his own brother’s Machiavellian schemes, the great detective must confront the limits of justice and the grim price of empire.

The Sleeper’s Cache is a masterful tale of suspense, a chilling exploration of realpolitik, and a long-lost story that forever changes our understanding of the Holmes brothers and the dark world they inhabited.

A Work of Suspense

di Orlando Pearson

When Mycroft Holmes—the pivotal thinker behind His Majesty's Government—is approached on the same evening by two of the realm's most powerful figures, King Edward VII himself and the British Ambassador to Washington, he knows he is holding a powder keg ready to explode. At the centre of the scandal stands Geoffrey Ebstein: an American with an extraordinary talent for procuring "young girls" for those who can afford them, and an archive of letters and photographs capable of destroying the highest offices of State. Imprisoned in Chelmsford awaiting trial, Ebstein is ready to talk—unless a deal can be struck. But Mycroft Holmes does not strike deals. Mycroft Holmes solves problems at their root. Accompanied by a drunken hangman whose name would become legend, the keeper of raison d'état sets in motion a mechanism that will lead to a death in custody, a suicide verdict signed by Dr Watson, and—perhaps—a far longer shadow cast over the British Crown itself. A Work of Suspense is the darkest, most shocking account ever to emerge from the Holmes family archives. A chilling narrative, written in lemon juice for fear that even his brother Sherlock might read it, and rediscovered only today through the heat of a radiator.
