Deep State

Orlando Pearson

Synopsis

Giallo - short story (21 pagine) - Some conspiracies are invisible—until Holmes looks directly at them. 
 
 
 
A routine inquiry draws Sherlock Holmes into a web with no obvious author and no visible edges. Power operates in whispers, decisions are made nowhere, and responsibility vanishes everywhere. 
As Holmes follows the logic, he discovers a force that thrives beyond governments and laws. Even the greatest detective finds deduction strained by secrecy without a single mastermind. 
Deep State is a chilling reflection on modern power, where truth exists—but is carefully concealed. 
 
 
 
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.

Who Killed Zebedee?

Wilkie Collins

A man lies dead, a knife in his heart, and no one saw the killer—at least no one admits to it.
In this classic mystery from Wilkie Collins, a young constable recounts a long-unsolved crime that haunts him still: a lodging house murder where the most obvious answers feel too neat, and justice remains out of reach. Between a silent staircase, a troubled cook, and a love that flickers beneath the surface, Who Killed Zebedee? draws us into a web of suspicion, memory, and moral reckoning.
First published in 1881 and also known as The Policeman and the Cook, this tale blends psychological nuance with sharp suspense—hallmarks of Collins at his most compelling.
