A Work of Vision

Giallo - short story (15 pagine) - The séance said the music was lost. The Nazis wanted it silenced. Only Sherlock Holmes could save it.

In the 1930s, an aging Sherlock Holmes is drawn into a case like no other: a séance vision reveals the existence of a lost violin concerto by Robert Schumann. Joined by Dr. Watson, he travels to a Germany under Nazi rule, navigating state propaganda and cultural theft in a desperate search for the precious manuscript. What follows is a race against time to preserve artistic truth and to keep a masterpiece from falling into the wrong hands—or disappearing forever.

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.
