Sherlock Holmes - Some Parisian Hot-Desking

Giallo - short story (22 pagine) - In a sweltering Parisian night, jazz and betrayal hit all the wrong notes.

In Some Parisian Hot-Desking, Dr. Watson finds himself entangled in a high-stakes mystery that stretches from the shadowy streets of London to the glittering boulevards of Paris. When Colonel Moran, the infamous deputy of the late Professor Moriarty, resurfaces in Paris, Watson and Sherlock Holmes are drawn into a dangerous plot to assassinate the French President. But beneath the surface of political intrigue lies a scandalous secret—one that could shake the British Empire to its core. Packed with wit, suspense, and the signature brilliance of Holmes’ deductions, this story reveals a shocking chapter in the battle between justice and corruption—one that Watson himself may never have dared to publish until now.
