THE LORETTO PALACE MYSTERY

Lisbon, 1900. The charming and adventurous Lorette and her eccentric companion, Monsieur Clairon, arrive in the Portuguese capital for a well-deserved holiday. They expect sunshine, romance, elegant shops and peaceful walks through the picturesque streets of Lisbon. But their holiday soon takes a dangerous and unexpected turn.

While exploring Rua Augusta, Rossio and Chiado, Lorette searches for fashionable clothing suitable for Lisbon's summer heat, while Clairon indulges his passion for fine Cuban cigars. A stolen bag, a handsome young policeman and an overheard conversation in a fashionable shop unexpectedly lead them into a sinister conspiracy.

Lorette discovers that a mysterious German-speaking woman is planning to kidnap the wealthy Baron of Loreto. Determined to prevent the crime, she and Clairon visit the Baron's magnificent palace, only to discover that the woman behind the plot is none other than the Baron's own wife!

Captured by a ruthless butler and imprisoned in a dark cellar, the two adventurers must rely on Lorette's courage and ingenuity to escape. After a spectacular breakout, they enlist the help of the handsome young policeman they had previously encountered in Rossio.

Together, they launch a daring raid on the palace, expose the conspirators and rescue the unsuspecting Baron before the kidnapping can take place.

Combining romance, humour, intrigue, breathtaking action and the irresistible atmosphere of Belle Époque Lisbon, The Loreto Palace Mystery is a colourful adventure filled with unexpected encounters, dangerous secrets and delightful surprises.

And when Lorette rewards the brave young policeman with a passionate kiss, Clairon discovers that even a successful holiday can have its complications!

An unforgettable adventure in Lisbon at the dawn of the twentieth century.
