About the work
THE SECRET OF THE STAFFORDSHIRE
A duke obsessed with his collection of Staffordshire dogs. A broken figure that holds a message more dangerous than a robbery. And a legendary detective, Sherlock Holmes, who must decipher it.
When the main display case of the Duke of Wiltshire’s collection is broken into and the Phantom Hound is reduced to fragments, no one calls Scotland Yard. Only one man understands that a crime is not always committed for what is stolen, but for what is meant to be communicated: Sherlock Holmes.
From the ballrooms of London’s high society to the blazing kilns of Staffordshire, Holmes and Watson delve into a mystery of family obsessions, century-old rivalries, and secrets encoded in fired clay. Every clue, every fragment, and every hidden story is a piece of a puzzle that, once solved, will reveal the truth behind an act as symbolic as it is terrifying.
Intrigue, wit, and the mastery of deduction combine in this tale where nothing is as it seems, and where even the fragility of terracotta can uphold the strength of justice.
Discover how a bark of clay can echo through the secrets of generations.
