A Type of Infamy
Description:... Giallo - novelette (30 pagine) - A mystery solved in the ruins of Vienna in the bitter winter of 1945/6.
It is March 1938 and a print worker petitions Holmes about the disappearance of a fellow worker at the Daily Mail newspaper.
Holmes investigates and interviews the newspaper’s proprietor, Viscount Rothermere, and Joachim von Ribbentrop, the German ambassador to London.
Diplomatic immunity and the weakness of the British government prevent any further action being taken in 1938, and the mystery is only finally solved in the ruins of Vienna in the bitter winter of 1945/6.
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.
