{"product_id":"sherlock-holmes-in-the-case-rr-thwackhurst-9798250135429","title":"Sherlock Holmes in The Case of Edward Kane","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Clara Kane visits Sherlock Holmes, she is not looking for him to solve a crime. There has been no theft, no murder, no threat of either. What she has lost is harder to name: a husband who was, until eighteen months ago, the most contented man she had ever known.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdward Kane, antiquarian bookseller, namer of pigeons, keeper of careful notebooks, attended a lecture on Ruskin and came home changed. What followed seemed, at first, like awakening: a man discovering beauty, depth, the full weight of experience after a life conducted in plain thinking. He read voraciously. He wrote luminous letters. He saw things he had never seen before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen the dismantling began.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePiece by piece, Edward tore down everything that defined him, his shop's purpose, his professional relationships, his domestic routines, the shared objects of a life lived together, in search of the authentic self he believed was buried beneath. Each removal felt like progress, like he was on the path to freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHolmes takes the case not because a crime has been committed, but because the logic of what is happening is, to him, irresistible: a man who set out to feel more has followed his own philosophy to its conclusion and arrived, with terrible consistency, at a place where he can feel almost nothing at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dissolution of Edward Vane is not a mystery of who or how. It is a mystery of where a true idea, followed faithfully and without interruption, will take a man, and whether the destination can be named before it becomes permanent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"He began because he wanted to feel more. He has arrived at a place where he can feel less.\"\u003c\/i\u003e - Sherlock Holmes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rr Thwackhurst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798250135429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.12d","brand":"Rr Thwackhurst","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48520340668671,"sku":"9798250135429","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_16cb2164-b3d5-4ae8-bc3f-fa56e98c7e23.jpg?v=1778742179","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sherlock-holmes-in-the-case-rr-thwackhurst-9798250135429","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
