In a white house in Palermo behind iron gates and jacaranda trees, two thieves posing as a married French couple accept a dinner invitation from a wealthy Argentine widow who wears at her throat a necklace of diamonds and sapphires said to have belonged to a Russian grand duchess — they have come to steal it, but before the fish course is cleared the necklace vanishes from the hostess's throat without a hand being raised and a note appears on a silver tray, turning the evening from a planned robbery into a locked-room puzzle involving a bitter ex-lover from one thief's past, a lovesick colonel manipulated by charm, a desperate daughter already stealing from her own mother, and a midnight trail through the backstreets of Buenos Aires to a shuttered restaurant above a gaming house; The Alvarado Necklace is an original Golden Age–style mystery about thieves forced to become detectives by another thief's bad manners — and the unsettling discovery that solving a crime can be as dangerous a habit as committing one.
ℹ️ FOR LISTENERS
This is an original mystery featuring Veronica Lakewood, an original character created by Nocturnal Tales. All characters and events in this story are fictional. No affiliation, endorsement, or official connection is implied.
💬 QUESTION FOR THE COMMENTS
They went to the Alvarado house to steal. They left having solved a case. When a thief discovers that asking the right question in a room full of liars is more satisfying than taking the jewels — is that redemption, or just a more interesting crime? 🕵️
