Sinopse

Giallo - novelette (26 pagine) - When the stakes are life and debt, even cricket becomes a game of deadly deduction. 
 
 
 
In The Doctor and the Demon, Dr. Watson recounts a tale where the fate of nations—and his own fortune—rest on a single match. As physician to the English cricket team in their 1882 showdown against Australia, Watson finds himself entangled in a high-stakes wager to escape financial ruin. But when Sherlock Holmes, battling his own demons, turns his razor-sharp mind to the sport, the game transforms into a battlefield of strategy, betrayal, and raw calculation. 
Holmes’s obsession with cricket’s hidden geometries leads him to a shocking betrayal of English pride—one that secures Watson’s survival at the cost of their reputations. Banned from the sport forever, Holmes plunges back into addiction, while Watson is left to ponder the price of salvation. 
A gripping blend of sports drama and detective genius, The Doctor and the Demon reveals the untold story behind cricket’s most infamous match—and the shadows it cast on Baker Street’s most famous duo. 
  
 
 
 
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 a race against time—and her mother's assailants—while once again facing the disorder she thought she'd put behind her, Beans discovers that, like herself, her mother had a devastating secret.
