Sinossi

Giallo - short story (19 pagine) - Even the sharpest mind can be outwitted by a bank. 
 
 
 
Setting up a medical practice should be simple—but for Dr Watson, it becomes a trial of forms, fees, and forgotten passwords. 
As London’s banks parade their promises, each proves as maddening as the last. 
Only when Sherlock Holmes intervenes does the true pattern behind banking “competition” emerge. 
What seems a trivial annoyance reveals a system designed to resist change and reward inertia. 
A quietly brilliant tale where modern frustration meets Victorian deduction. 
 
 
 
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.

    PRESENTED IN DUET NARRATION 
    Maxton Hall meets Rory Gilmore's college years in this decadent college romance that equal parts passion, privilege and mystery. 
    Malena Amin is two people. 
    At home, she the respectable, rule-abiding daughter that her controlling family expects. At her prestigious Ivy-League University, she’s the risk-taking, adventurous woman that she wants to be. With parents who demand to know her location settings at all times, Malena uses a secret phone and secret bank account to make her double life possible. 
    But when her tutoring job falls through, she hits a snag in funding that double life. So, Malena sets her eyes on the prize money from a National feature-writing contest through the school paper. And when she intercepts an invitation to an ultra-exclusive secret society on campus—she has the perfect story. 
    She’ll attend, lay low, and get an inside look. 
    Unfortunately, she’s discovered early in the night by the notorious playboy and Hastings Media heir: Conrad Hastings. 
    The frustratingly attractive Conrad doesn’t aspire to anything other than a good time. But when his newspaper-magnate father discovers that he’s delinquent on work for the school paper, Conrad needs to complete it before his father can make good on an ultimatum. So, he agrees to let Malena into the secret society—temporarily— if she agrees to share a byline on the article they’ll write together. Conrad fulfils his obligations, and Malena gets the inside look she needs for the contest. 
    But, the two soon discover an art world mystery hidden between lavish parties and Gothic libraries. And more concerningly: a palpable spark between them. With new clues unraveling before them, mounting desire they can’t ignore and Malena’s web of lies threatening to collapse—their partnership becomes a lot more than a simple deal.
