Book excerpt: Giallo - novelette (29 pagine) - The sequel to the canonical story “The Three Students”. The sequel to the canonical story, The Three Students. As Holmes and Watson sit at breakfast having solved the case, the wrongdoer they have just identified interrupts them. A fourth student, his main rival in the long-jump, is behaving in a very peculiar manner, and is carrying all before him on the sports-field. The trail takes Holmes and Watson to a barber’s shop where they acquire a preparation which the barber markets as a performance enhancer. But this is by no means the end of a murky trail to discover how to win Olympic gold. 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.
