About the work
London, 1895. A scream of horror breaks the silence of a Victorian mansion: Lord Harrington lies dead beside the empty display case of his most prized treasure, the legendary Jade Vase of Emperor Yongle.
The theft seems impossible: the room was sealed from the inside. Scotland Yard is at a loss. Only Sherlock Holmes, with his magnifying glass and relentless logic, can see what others cannot—that the true mystery is not how the thief entered, but why the precious vase was deliberately shattered and scattered around the corpse.
From the underworld of Limehouse to the aristocratic salons, Holmes and Watson face a dangerous investigation that will uncover a deadly obsession, a decades-old revenge, and a secret linking the splendor of the Ming Court with the corruption of the British Empire.
In this unprecedented case, the detective must not only catch a criminal but unravel the plot behind an idea: that beauty can be the most lethal weapon.
