L'affaire Dreyfus

Orlando Pearson

Sinossi

Giallo - collection (31 pagine) - In the shadowy corridors of power, where justice bends to statecraft and truth is a pawn in the game of empires, Mycroft Holmes faces his greatest moral dilemma.

When the President of France secretly enlists Mycroft Holmes to manage the explosive fallout of Captain Alfred Dreyfus’s treason trial, Mycroft sees a chance to stabilize a nation on the brink. But Sherlock Holmes, summoned by Dreyfus’s desperate brother, uncovers evidence of a shocking frame-up. As the brothers clash over truth versus political expediency, a web of forgery, prejudice, and high-stakes espionage unravels. In this gripping retelling of history’s most infamous miscarriage of justice, the fate of a man, a country, and the Holmes brothers’ own legacy hangs in the balance.

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.

Young Sherlock Holmes & John...

AI Voice Christopher Allen

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES & JOHN WATSON

The case of the stolen penny farthing bicycle.

This completely new story I have written involves the 10 year old boys who will be the great detective Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, his assistant, when they grow up, this is their formative years where they perfect their skills before adulthood on what my appear to be inconsequential subjects, but the principle remains the same.

This is just one of an extensive series I will be publishing as audio books in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this first one, and its only 99 pence, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment.

I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, a violin Holme's musical instrument of choice and is energetic and the closing music ends the tale on a more restrained mode and only about 1 minute.

The story itself runs to about just over 5 minutes and is of course a short story, it is read in my own voice.

The story involves the theft of a penning farthing bicycle owned by the son, Leopold 12 years old of the Duke of Westminster, who live in Grosvenor Square London in the late 1900's. Needless to say Holmes solves the mystery with aplomb and goes onto his next case.

The stories are designed to be entertaining to children of approximately the same age around 10 years old due to the characters involved.

I do hope you and you children, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!

A Murder in the Making

Victoria Laurie

Dovey didn't expect to fall in love after the age of 200, yet she can't stop thinking about Grant "Gib" Barlow, the gorgeous FBI agent who helped her crack her last case. A romance with an unbound is obviously a terrible idea, but for Gib, it could be fatal—because Dovey's employer, Elric Ostergaard, arguably the most powerful mystic in the world, also happens to be her longtime lover.Alas, Dovey's efforts to steer clear of Gib become impossible when her best friend, fellow mystic, and unapologetic romantic, Ursula Göransdotter, tricks them into a lunch date—during which Gib is alerted that a fellow agent has been murdered in his own home. The state of the crime scene, and of the body, seem to defy logic—but Dovey immediately recognizes the Crushing Spell, which could only be cast by a supremely powerful mystic—like her boss. When another agent is killed in the same manner, Dovey races to find Elric for answers.Meanwhile, the FBI body count rises, and it becomes clear that a rogue mystic is targeting the unbound agents, but why? What ensues is another missing magical trinket, a tense confrontation with Elric, a shocking discovery about Gib, and grave danger to all involved—forcing Dovey to navigate realm-crossing love triangles, supernatural power struggles—and ultimately, her own surprisingly vulnerable heart . . .
