Dublin, and a decision that arrives at breakfast wearing the wholly unreasonable appearance of having been obvious all along: Captain Arthur will not go back to London. He will stay — and open a detective agency of his own. A brass plate. An office above a stationer's. A row of freshly sharpened pencils. And a small glove-stealing spaniel named Pip, already eating the corner of the blotting paper.
His first client is not a veiled woman carrying state secrets. It is Anne Foster — and her difficulty is a greyhound. Merrion Boy, the favourite, was to run at Shelbourne Park tomorrow evening. This morning his kennel was found locked from the outside, and empty, with a ransom note demanding twenty pounds.
From the sober fronts of Merrion Square to the yards, carts and coal smoke of Ringsend, Arthur, Anne and Pip follow a case in which two men, working entirely apart and never once conspiring, each tried to stop the favourite from running for reasons of their own. The Favourite Who Refused to Run is the sixth and final volume of the Arthur, Anne and Pip mysteries — an original Golden Age-style story about beginnings, partnership, and discovering at last that everything, and everyone, is precisely where they belong.
ℹ️ FOR LISTENERS
This is an original Golden Age-style mystery presented as a respectful homage to classic detective fiction. All characters and events in this story are fictional. No affiliation, endorsement, or official connection is implied.
💬 QUESTION FOR THE COMMENTS
Two men tried to stop the same dog from running, for entirely different reasons, and never once conspired. When ordinary greed and ordinary fear happen to point the same way — is that a plot, or just people being people? 🕵️
