The Case of The Mirror of Portugal, Part 1

A royal artifact vanishes without a trace, and Dorrington enters a world of lies, power, and polished deception 🪞👑

“Not all treasures glitter—some hide behind gentlemen’s smiles and unsigned contracts.” — Horace Dorrington

The Case of The Mirror of Portugal, Part 1

When the legendary Mirror of Portugal disappears from a private collection, the theft sends shockwaves through London’s elite. Horace Dorrington—slick, shrewd, and more morally flexible than Holmes—takes the case. But the deeper he digs, the more he encounters half-truths and aristocratic secrets no one wants unearthed. With whispers of royal connections and political consequences, Dorrington must tread carefully or risk becoming part of the cover-up.

This story introduces a rival who’s as comfortable in the shadows as he is in the drawing room—where truth is negotiable and justice, sometimes, optional.

Written and created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s contemporaries.
