Ergebnis für "Orlando" in Internationale Krimis

Bei der Generalprobe für den Auftritt eines bekannten norddeutschen Kammerchors in Dänemark wird die Solosopranistin vermisst und bleibt verschwunden. Zwei Wochen später entdecken Urlauber ihre Leiche. Die gemeinsamen Ermittlungen von deutscher und dänischer Kripo ergeben, dass mehrere Personen ein Mordmotiv gehabt haben, nicht zuletzt auch der Ehemann des Opfers. Kira Lund bricht einen Urlaubs-Segeltörn ab, um für ihren Sender über den Fall zu berichten. Wenig später begeht ein Sänger des Kammerchors Suizid, und es wird klar, dass die tote Sopranistin ein dunkles Geheimnis gehütet hat.

Orlando Pearson mixes the Great Baker Street detective with history both familiar and unfamiliar to deliver his customary heady brew of Holmesiana.

Prime Minister, Herbert Asquith, and Inspector Gregson, long out of touch with Sherlock Holmes, meet the great detective on 28 June 1914, the day of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo. The Germans have introduced a new code and it has baffled the British secret service. As international tensions increase and more messages in the new code are intercepted, the urgency to decrypt mounts, but Holmes is preoccupied with the events that form the narrative of His Last Bow.

A dramatised version of Arthur Conan Doyle's Bruce-Partington Plans is followed by that story's chilling sequel, The Sleeper's Cache. Missing blueprints papers and then a missing spy. Who better than Sherlock Holmes to investigate?

It is May 1940. The British army has been routed and is awaiting its evacuation. Winston Churchill asks Holmes to stand by to provide advice on what steps to take in the face of the anticipated aerial onslaught of the Luftwaffe on British airfields. As German attacks mount, Holmes offers unpalatable advice which Churchill accepts for want of an alternative. As German attacks switch from the airfields to production facilities, Holmes provides additional detective advice on a most unexpected matter.
