A Double Reconciliation

Orlando Pearson

Synopsis

Giallo - short story (22 pagine) - Sherlock Holmes between Brahms and Joachim. 
 
 
 
In 1884, a young and restless Sherlock Holmes, grappling with addiction and boredom, crosses paths with the famed violinist Joseph Joachim. What begins as a musical exchange spirals into a delicate investigation: Holmes is hired to spy on the maestro’s wife, suspected of infidelity. But the case will lead him far beyond Berlin—to Vienna, and into the orbit of another great reconciliation, this time with the composer Johannes Brahms himself. 
 
 
 
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.
