Thank Holmes It's Friday - Oct 4 - Sherlock Holmes and Real World Events
It's that time again - Thanks Holmes it's Friday! This week we're inviting you to enjoy the The Redacted Sherlock Holmes Series and experience a realm where Sherlock Holmes confronts real-world events like never before! Skillfully crafted by Orlando Pearson, this series brings forth daring tales too scandalous to publish during the lifetime of the great detective.
THE REDACTED SHERLOCK HOLMES
Fans of Pearson's story collections will be thrilled by the release of volume 8 next week. This volume features both a royal and a presidential scandal, tells of the fate of Sherlock Holmes’s fiancée Agatha from Charles Augustus Milverton, finds a new English king, discloses the non-arrest of a serious criminal, thwarts an attack on Queen Victoria, and wins big on a famous sporting event.
Each short story collection, along with two engaging novels, offer a thought-provoking journey that intertwines mystery with the pressing societal issues that have plagued history.
Cricket fans may want to read Orlando's article in the recent journal from the Sherlock Holmes Society of India (Volume 12 Issue 1) - the article is on page 23.
