Synopsis

When a priceless Victorian locket vanishes from Mrs. Pennington's antique shop, twelve-year-old sleuths Alex Hawthorne and Nicky Bramwell can't resist the mystery.
Alex-bold, bike-riding and endlessly curious-pairs her razor-sharp eye for detail with Nicky's genius note-taking mind and the guidance of Sherlock, Nicky's tuxedo-clad sheepadoodle. From covert stakeouts behind Nicky's mum's bustling Oxford pub to late-night flour "snowstorms" in Mr. Crumpet's bakery, every clue pulls them deeper into a web of jealous shopkeepers, secret passages and century-old legends about the actress who first wore the heirloom.
But the closer the friends get to the truth, the higher the stakes climb. A shadowy figure seems to track their every move, the police have no leads, and Mrs. Pennington's hope dwindles by the day. If the locket leaves Oxford, it-and the story of Eliza Harwood-could be lost forever.
Armed with walkie-talkies, a homemade evidence board and more courage than caution, Alex and Nicky race against time through cobblestone lanes, hidden gardens and a restored theatre whose crimson curtains conceal more than props. To crack the case they'll have to trust each other's strengths, outsmart a thief who's always one step ahead, and prove that keen minds-and kinder hearts-are the most powerful tools a detective can carry.
Full of lively banter, sensory-rich settings and the unbreakable bond of two very different best friends, Oxford Mysteries: The Case of the Missing Heirloom is an uplifting middle-grade whodunit that celebrates curiosity, community and the idea that heroes come in all shapes, sizes and abilities.
