The Redacted Sherlock Holmes Series by Orlando Pearson

The Church Times calls his works “clever, thought-provoking, and terrific fun”, while the Sherlock Holmes Society describes them as “imaginative and deeply thoughtful”. The Historical Novels Society says his Volume VIII in the collection is “an easy read, perfect for bedtime or beach.”

Orlando Pearson is the creator of The Redacted Sherlock Holmes series. In its now twelve and soon to be thirteen volumes, Pearson demolishes forever the absurd notion that Sherlock Holmes and his even cleverer brother, Mycroft, might not have been real people.

Pearson’s ninth collection of short works (not stories) is out now and features three famous composers (one female), a famous footballer (female), a scandalous woman, Queen Victoria, a Nobel prize winning scientist, Tsar Nicholas II, Charles de Gaulle, and Adolf Hitler.

The third Redacted novel, Further Studies in Statecraft, will be out before the end of the year and is a second set of Mycroftian memoirs with Sherlock’s brother’s Machiavellian machinations on full display as he toys with the Ripper, Alfred Dreyfus, Winston Churchill, Hitler’s only Jewish field-marshal, and two girl-friends of Hitler. In the last work in the collection, Mycroft negotiates a trade deal with American President, Ronald Crump. There is also a book of Redacted plays.
