A hidden vault. A midnight robbery. And no sign of forced entry. The Looting of the ‘Spice Room’, Part 1 begins a baffling case of inside knowledge and invisible thieves.

When the heavily guarded “Spice Room”—a top-secret vault holding valuable international documents—is mysteriously emptied overnight, suspicion falls on every level of the establishment. But who knew the layout? Who bypassed security? And why did they leave no trace? From behind a gentleman’s façade emerges a brilliant amateur sleuth with a flair for deduction and disguise. This gripping case delves deep into espionage, loyalty, and the illusion of security in an age of empire and secrets.

This episode introduces a clever new detective figure among Holmes’s many literary rivals, setting the stage for a crime of calculated precision.
