    As London prepares for Christmas, newspapers report the theft of a near-priceless gemstone, the "Blue Carbuncle", from the Countess of Morcar's hotel suite. The police arrest John Horner, a plumber with a criminal record who was in the Countess's room repairing a fireplace grate. 
    Meanwhile, at 221B Baker Street, Dr Watson finds Sherlock Holmes contemplating a battered old hat brought to him by Peterson, a commissionaire who seeks Holmes's help in returning it and a Christmas goose to their rightful owners after he found them dropped in the street during a scuffle. A nametag on the goose reading "Henry Baker" is of little assistance as the name is a very common one. Ultimately, Peterson takes the goose home for dinner while Holmes keeps the hat to study as an intellectual exercise. Wonderful detective work ensues and Sherlock finally solves each problem and apparent conundrum in his usual way.

    Step into the shadowed corridors of history with "The Complete Addlestone Chronicles," an immersive box set that gathers the enthralling three-part saga of espionage, deep-seated love, and unwavering courage set against the tumultuous backdrop of 1930s Europe. As fascism rises and the world edges closer to war, two British spies, James Harcourt-Heath and Louise de la Béré, are swept into the heart of darkness, where every shadow harbors threats, and every alliance is tested. 
    Book 1: Addlestone sets the stage in an England under the tightening grip of Adolf Hitler. James and Louise, two Cambridge undergraduates, unwittingly step into the intricate dance of espionage. Their journey through Paris, Munich, Vienna, and Berlin pits them against a sinister Nazi cell on English soil, as they struggle to balance the scales of trust and love against their perilous mission. 
    Book 2: Lebensborn delves deeper into the horrors of Nazi eugenics through the chilling Lebensborn programme, intent on birthing a "Master Race." Now seasoned agents of MI5, James and Louise navigate the deceptive glitter of the 1936 Olympic Games and the shadows of Germany, Italy, and France. Their fight against tyranny intensifies, challenging them to safeguard humanity from a dark future. 
    Book 3: Magdalene reveals the dual horrors of Nazi ambitions and the Irish Magdalene Laundries. In their most personal mission yet, the couple confronts not only external enemies but the insidious abuse within these institutions. From the depths of espionage to the heights of philanthropy, they champion the cause of justice and morality, linking the past's shadows with the present's looming threats.
