The Hunchback of Westminster

In the cramped office on Stanton Street a weary former barrister fights the monotony of routine investigations—wife‑tracking and petty embezzlement—while dreaming of the grand adventures described in the romance novels that once inspired his career change. That quiet desperation is shattered the night a nervous young Spaniard named José Casteno steps through the door, offering a commission that promises both danger and the chance to unearth a hidden treasure worth millions.

The story plunges listeners into a rain‑soaked, gas‑lit London where a sudden thunderstorm frames the detective’s first encounter with a ghostly figure at the window, hinting at forces far beyond ordinary crime. As the mystery of the “Hunchback of Westminster” unfolds, the investigator must navigate cryptic historical documents, secret societies, and a labyrinth of clues that could change his fortunes forever—if he can survive the shadows that already begin to close in.
