A lens for the truth. A pen for the story. A mystery as old as the hills.
 

In the heart of Cornwall, where the granite moors hide secrets centuries deep, an unlikely investigative duo is at work. Veryan Lammoran is the "Snapper"—a press photographer with a Sherlockian eye for the smallest visual detail and a relentless drive to uncover what the camera lens captures. By her side is Thomas Hamilton, the "Scribe"—the veteran reporter who plays Dr. Watson to her Holmes, documenting their crime-busting adventures as they navigate the vanishing world of traditional regional journalism.
