The Man Astride the Grey
di Orlando Pearson
Where reason ends, the sea begins.
A remote Frisian island, 1882. Holmes, recovering from addiction, discovers a land ruled by dykes, superstition, and buried guilt. A young farmer's visionary plans to reclaim land from the sea collide with his father's dark confession—and a village's ancient hunger for sacrifice. Fifteen years later, Holmes returns to find triumph turned to tragedy, as a storm unleashes forces no logic can explain. A haunting tale of progress, atonement, and the ghosts that ride alongside us.
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.
