The Scandal of the Gaze: Sherlock Holmes and the Secret of Olympia
Paris, 1883. Amid bohemian cafés, luxury brothels, and the most exclusive salons, Sherlock Holmes faces a mystery that challenges not only logic but the very perception of truth.

From art salons to the darkest boulevards, Holmes and Watson must decipher codes hidden in brushstrokes, gestures, and musical scores, confronting obsessive collectors, intriguing diplomats, and unscrupulous critics. Each clue brings them closer to a conclusion where art is not just a witness but the key to saving lives and revealing the truth.
A historical and artistic thriller that combines Sherlock Holmes’ masterful deduction with Manet’s provocation. The Scandal of the Gaze proves that sometimes the most dangerous truth is in plain sight... in the gaze of a woman who dared to challenge the world.
