Sinopse

Giallo - novelette (23 pagine) - In the shadow of war, even Sherlock Holmes faces a code he cannot crack—and a secret buried for centuries. 
 
 
 
As the Blitz rains fire upon Britain, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are drawn into a web of intrigue far deadlier than any criminal plot. In The Book-Thief and the Blitz, the legendary detective is tasked with deciphering German code names for impending air raids—names like Moonlight Sonata, Umbrella, and Standard Price. But as Coventry and Birmingham burn, Holmes races against time to uncover the third target before the bombers strike again. 
Amidst the chaos, a mysterious librarian’s theft of historical books about Leicester hints at a secret buried deeper than the war itself. When a bomb crater reveals a skeleton with a twisted spine, Holmes stumbles upon a royal mystery lost to history—one that could rewrite the fate of England. 
From the shattered streets of Leicester to the hidden corridors of Bletchley Park, this gripping tale weaves together espionage, ancient lineage, and the brutal calculus of war. A masterful blend of history and deduction, The Book-Thief and the Blitz proves that even in the darkest hours, some secrets refuse to stay buried. 
A thrilling wartime mystery—Holmes at his most brilliant and human. 
 
 
 
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.
