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.

The Original Human Beings

Dr. Timothy Dale White

What if one orphaned Latina's truth could shift everything, we think we know about who on earth matters—and why?
A girl the world forgot.
A truth no one saw coming.
A story that might change us all.
The world treated her as necessary collateral damage.
She answered with music-a response of rediscovering humanity.
In a world growing numb to cruelty. The original human Beings tell the inspirational story of a girl named Never- a Honduran orphan who escapes living in a Central American city dump and journeys north with a cello on her back. She is fighting to simply stay alive.
She alone could protect her hilarious little brother, Homero. She searched for a hero - but found a dreamy Nez Perce young man, the most athletic person she had ever seen, who helped her realize the hero was staring back at her in the mirror.
It is a romance as scandalous as it is soulful, with no promise of happily ever after - only truth. She found refuge in Loco Lucy, the garbage dumps’ foul-mouthed, delightfully deranged, vampire-dressing matriarch.
She was hunted by General Alejandro Mendoza-El Caudillo-a ruthless crime Lord who misbelieved he was her father and would burn down the world to control her.
And she was stalked by Alonzo Gomez, a seven-foot hitman with a French accent, a loaded pistol, and a soul darker than midnight - until she made him believe in something more dangerous.
It is a high concept saga infused with magical realism.
It echoes with mythic power of new approach to Voltaire's Candide meets Cervantes Don Quixote's man of La Mancha.
This is how we remember what truly matters. This is how we broken walk out of the monster.
"The title —The Original Humans —got me. I had to discover the world Tim White was talking about. Brace yourselves, the ride is harrowing yet hopeful." - Yareli Arizmendi
“A masterpiece from one of the best storytellers on the planet.” - Jodi Garza CEO, flyalaskaseaplanes.com
