Dorcas Dene, detective : Her adventures (second series)

A glittering London night at the Alhambra theatre turns into a puzzling mystery when a royal box meant for a visiting prince remains empty. Dorcas Dene, a sharp‑witted amateur sleuth, is drawn into the case after a chance encounter with a nervous manager and a cryptic invitation from a police inspector. Over dinner, she learns that the young heir vanished without a trace, prompting a frantic search that involves secret police, foreign dignitaries, and a handful of detectives already combing the city.

The story unfolds with the elegance of a late‑Victorian soirée and the keen observation that has become Dorcas’s trademark. As she pieces together clues—from missing luggage to whispered rumors—her unconventional theories begin to outshine the official leads. Listeners will be swept into a tale of intrigue set against the bustle of London’s cultural scene, where charm and intellect collide in a race against time to locate a missing prince before the political stakes rise too high.
