L'affaire Dreyfus

Orlando Pearson

Synopsis

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.

Murders on the Ridge: Mystery in...

Andrea Smith

(Previously released as "Where the Crawfish Swim.")  
Welcome to Briarton, Ohio. Population: Just a sliver over 2,100 people. Briarton is located in Southern Ohio--the gateway to Appalachia. The people in this small village, in a county where farming and poverty are the main occupation, move at their own pace. They hunt, they fish, they farm - but their secrets run deeper than the fishing holes that dot the countryside. Dalton Edwards, an agent with the DEA is about to uncover a few of those secrets, when he's assigned to Briar County on a low-priority assignment by his boss . . . as punishment. 
His boss says it's a pot-growing operation, but Dalton thinks it's much bigger than that. Before his assignment is over, eight family members will be murdered under circumstances that Dalton knows have nothing to do with a hydroponic weed operation--or a custody dispute. The mass murder makes international news, Dalton is determined to find the murder (or murderers) and expose the guilty to seek justice for the slain. It won't be easy, and in the end, one more local will perish. Dalton will not rest until those responsible are held accountable. 
This is a True Crime Fiction, but inspired by what people refer to as "The Pike County Massacre," which took place in Pike County, Ohio in April 2016. All characters contained in this novel are purely fictional, and conclusions drawn are purely a product of the author's imagination.
