Synopsis

Giallo - short story (19 pagine) - The sky is falling—only Sherlock Holmes can see it. 
 
 
 
In 1908, Sherlock Holmes is haunted not by a crime, but by a cosmic question: how did the mighty dinosaurs vanish from the Earth? When he begins scanning the heavens for answers, he witnesses something terrifying—a celestial projectile hurtling toward the planet. Racing to Siberia with Watson and Mycroft, they arrive just in time to witness the Tunguska Event firsthand. Now Holmes must not only solve a prehistoric mystery but prevent humanity from suffering the same fate. 
 
 
 
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.

    Beneath London’s streets, something ancient is waking.
     
    For centuries, the British monarchy protected a secret buried beneath stone, soil, and blood — a pact forged with a primordial force known only as The Sovereign Mist.
     
    It was meant to remain hidden.
     
    It was meant to remain controlled.
     
    But bloodlines weaken. Rituals are forgotten. And promises break.
     
    Now, a black fog rolls across Britain — from the tunnels of London to the ruins of Scotland, the cliffs of Ireland, and the haunted castles of Wales. Whispers echo through royal halls. Nightmares plague descendants of ancient kings. Shadows move where no light should reach.
     
    The covenant has shattered.
     
    And The Mist wants freedom.
     
    As reality bends and ancestral secrets rise, heirs to the throne must confront a terrifying truth: this was never just about monarchy — it was about the survival of the world itself.
     
    The Black Fog Covenant is a chilling supernatural thriller blending gothic atmosphere, royal conspiracy, ancient folklore, and apocalyptic dread.
     
    Narrated by Alloy Jordan, this unabridged audiobook delivers cinematic tension, haunting ambience, and a slow-burn descent into shadow.
