An Individual of High Net Worth

Giallo - novelette (26 pagine) - When wealth becomes a weapon, only Mycroft Holmes can audit the truth.

In the wake of Sherlock Holmes’s apparent death, a grief-stricken Dr. Watson is drawn into a financial enigma when a wealthy entrepreneur seeks an extraordinary loan with no repayment plan. As Watson delves deeper, he uncovers a sophisticated scheme of tax avoidance that threatens the nation’s coffers and entangles him in a speculative disaster. With his own finances in ruins, only Mycroft Holmes can untangle the web of high finance, political influence, and legal loopholes—proving that the greatest mysteries are not always solved with a magnifying glass, but with a ledger.

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.
