A Double Reconciliation

Orlando Pearson

Sinossi

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.

Her trusty feline familiar, Rumpus, is passed out in the bathtub. It looks like a setup. 
 
 
 
They weren't lying when they said middle age was full of surprises! 
 
 
 
She can't go to her boyfriend, Jon. As Chief of Police, he'd have a nasty conflict of interest. The truth is that Ruby looks like the suspect. And there's nothing or no one on the good side of the law that can help her. So . . . she teams up with the mob. 
 
 
 
That's right. She calls her nemesis, Benito Lombardi. Call it crazy, but she believes him when he tells her that he has too much respect and if he wanted her gone, he'd take her out openly. 
 
 
 
Now Ruby and Rumpus have a whole new cast of characters who are helping them, and they're not all good guys. But they all have one thing in common. They need to find the killer who set Ruby up. Because this time she may have woken up drugged and groggy. 
 
 
 
Next time, she may not be waking up at all!
