Sinopse

Giallo - novelette (35 pagine) - A Sherlock Holmes story with many contemporary resonances 
 
 
 
“Is this the ending of days?” gasps Watson in this ground-breaking story of religion and the climate change. 
Holmes is petitioned by the groom of the Bedlam lunatic asylum to investigate a mysterious birth that has taken place there. 
And after the notorious winter of 1894/5, an inscrutable politician, gives Holmes a commission to investigate whether the climate is changing and whether industrialisation is the cause. 
Holmes’s investigation into both cases has ambiguous results and Holmes is left to philosophise on the parallels between the two. 
A Sherlock Holmes story with many contemporary resonances. 
 
 
 
Orlando Pearson, creator of the well-known Redacted Sherlock Holmes series, commutes into London during the day and communes with the spirits of Baker Street by night. 
An international businessman, his interests include classical music, history, literature, current affairs, sport and economics. All these themes find their way into his stories which are being translated into German and Italian. 
Mr Pearson is married with two children and lives near Wisteria Lodge.

    A “rousing, often comic” series debut featuring a globe-trotting spy with nothing to lose—even sleep—from the New York Times–bestselling author (Library Journal). 
     
    Evan Michael Tanner hasn’t slept in more than a decade—not since a small piece of battlefield shrapnel invaded his skull and obliterated his brain’s sleep center. Still, he’s managed to find numerous inventive ways to occupy his waking hours. 
     
    Tanner is a card-carrying member of hundreds of international organizations, from the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Order to the Flat Earth Society—not because he believes in their myriad lost causes, he’s simply a joiner by nature. Besides, it gives him something to do. 
     
    The Russians think Tanner is a CIA operative on a covert mission. The CIA is certain he’s a Soviet agent. Actually, he’s in Turkey pursuing a fortune in hidden Armenian gold. But Tanner’s up for anything, including a little spycraft, if it helps him reach his big payday. And if need be, he’ll even start a small revolution . . .
