The Art of the Possible

Giallo - novelette (34 pagine) - The armistice was signed—but the real war had only just begun.

In November 1918, with Europe in ruins, Mycroft Holmes is tasked with brokering an end to the Great War. From secret meetings with French Prime Minister Clemenceau to tense negotiations in a railway carriage in the Compiègne forest, Holmes navigates the treacherous waters of diplomacy, ambition, and vengeance. With Dr Watson at his side, he must outmaneuver generals, kaisers, and revolutionaries to secure an armistice—but at what cost to history, and to his own legacy?

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.
