Sinopse

Giallo - short story (18 pagine) - Honour has its price. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are about to find out how much. 
 
 
 
When an unctuous "agent" named Maundy Gregory offers Dr. Watson a knighthood for a price, the good doctor is both tempted and repulsed. A decade later, Sherlock Holmes is approached with the same corrupt bargain. Together, they confront the dark heart of Britain’s honours system, uncovering a conspiracy that reaches into the highest echelons of government—and leads to an uncomfortable showdown in the Stranger’s Room of the Diogenes Club. 
 
 
 
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.
Disponível desde: 03/03/2026.

    November 1913: Staff wanted. Prospects excellent. Death - or worse - a certainty.  
    London 1913. One foggy November evening, fourteen-year-old Rosie is knocked down by a car and admitted to Dorcas Free Hospital.  
    Dr Margaret Demeray suspects she's escaped kidnappers masquerading as an employment agency. But the police are more interested in the cold-blooded murder of a respectable man than Rosie, and Rosie won’t talk, other than to beg Margaret and Fox to stop her friend Violet being caught by the same people.  
    Digging deeper reveals more than Margaret and Fox bargained for. The procurers may be doing more than simply traffic young people. Rescuing Violet may be the only way they can shut the operation down. But where is she? And is it possible that both perpetrators and victims may be closer than they thought?

But then a boy from a local LGBTQ support group goes missing, and Nichelle can't turn away from an old friend's plea for help finding him.

As clues and dead ends pile up in nearly equal numbers, the situation quickly spirals out of Nichelle's control. 
     
     
     
    The killer is a master at covering their tracks, and they won't stop until they've passed deadly judgment on every last bigot in the state.
