About this listen

The Discoveries Of Sherlock Holmes is a series of Sherlock Holmes stories to give fans the opportunity to sample Sherlockian writers from all over the world. One story per writer will appear each month. Number II is Orlando Pearson

In the early days of their collaboration, Dr Watson assessed Sherlock Holmes’s knowledge of chemistry as profound. It is thus hardly surprising that German chemist and future noble prize winner, Fritz Haber, should approach the Great Baker Street detective, for help on a new and transformative industrial process that he is trying to make viable. But, as the first World War breaks out, was there more to the process than met the eye? And, if Watson assessed Holmes’s knowledge of chemistry as profound, what about his assessment of Holmes’s understanding of politics as feeble? It is as well that Mycroft Holmes, acting in his role as the British Government’s Chief Advisor, can step in to turn matters to Great Britain’s best advantage.
