Sinopsis

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.

    In 1965, Paul Harvey, a voice resonant with prophetic insight, delivered a broadcast that would echo through the decades. His "If I Were the Devil" was not merely a monologue but a chilling foresight, a catalog of malevolence that seemed to unspool the very fabric of the future. Here, listed, are the stratagems he attributed to the devil himself:Promote discord and discontentUndermine family structuresEncourage selfishness and materialismErode faith and spiritualityPromote moral relativismEncourage trust in government over self-relianceFoster dependency on state welfareUndermine educational standardsPromote the normalization of addictions 
    Ah, but let us now turn the page to a more... current narrative. I am Master Fewnu, and let me be perfectly clear: any resemblance my moniker bears to worldly institutions is purely coincidental, whimsically serendipitous, you might say. I find myself in a peculiar era, the year 2030, where my machinations have woven themselves into the very tapestry of human society. And, oh, how delightfully easy it was! 
    Humans, those endearingly gullible creatures, have outdone themselves in paving the way for my reign. The beauty of my plan lies in its simplicity: convince humanity that they are progressing, all while they dance like marionettes to the discordant symphony I conduct. And dance they do, with a fervor that borders on the comical. 
    Let us indulge in a bit of self-adulation, shall we? After all, it's not pride if it's deserved. My strategy was a masterpiece of deception and manipulation, a veritable feast of folly. With every step they took away from unity, from the sanctity of the family, from the very essence of their faith and moral compass, they stepped closer to me...
