  In January 1903, at Baker Street, James M. Dodd comes to Holmes with a strange story regarding his friend, Godfrey Emsworth. Dodd and Emsworth served in the Imperial Yeomanry in South Africa during the Second Boer War. Emsworth was sent home after being treated for a bullet wound; hearing nothing from his friend for quite some time afterwards, Dodd began to suspect something was amiss. 
  Dodd wrote to Colonel Emsworth, Godfrey's father, and was told Godfrey had gone on a voyage round the world for his health. Dodd found it odd that Godfrey himself had not written to him about this matter, and managed to convince Godfrey's mother to invite him to the Emsworth family home, Tuxbury Old Park, near Bedford. There were four people there—the Colonel and his wife, and an old butler and his wife. The irritable Colonel repeated the story about his son's world voyage, implied Dodd was lying about knowing Godfrey, and abruptly refused Dodd's request for Godfrey's contact information.

  ‘Do you believe Will took his own life?’ 
  The question echoed off the white tiles in the hospital’s cold, cavernous morgue, and I studied my husband in peaceful repose. I leaned down and put my forehead against his. Silent tears ran down my cheeks. They felt hot, and he felt so cold. It was five days since his death, and my grief felt heavy, like a vast, dark mass pushing down on me.

  🗿 The grand reopening of the prestigious Willow Creek Sculpture Garden should have been a triumph for curator Clara Clay. But the evening turns tragic when the guest of honor—a notoriously ruthless art critic—is found dead, posed to look like one of the garden's own abstract sculptures. The murder weapon? A valuable bronze statue from Clara's newest exhibition. With her career crumbling and the police convinced the killer is someone on her staff, Clara must chisel away at the polished surface of the art world to uncover the truth. With help from her art-snob poodle, Picasso, and a security guard with a hidden past, Clara uncovers a gallery of motives among the garden's elegant paths. From forged sculptures and secret auctions to bitter rivalries and stolen masterpieces, every clue reveals that in the art world, some people would kill for the perfect composition. Can Clara unmask the killer before her exhibition becomes a permanent collection of evidence?
