With Sherlock Holmes away on a case, Basil and Doctor Dawson find themselves at loose ends until an urgent message arrives: Basils services are required by the noblemice of Marlborough House!
Marlborough House is the home of Edward, the Prince of Wales (second child and eldest son of Queen Victoria) who lives there with various children and family members. Unbeknownst to the human royals, there is a corresponding clan of noblemice living there as well. At the moment, the human royal family is hosting the visiting royal family of Bohemia, along with that familys corresponding group of stowaway noblemice. However, the teen noblemice of both houses have vanished without a trace and everyone fears that one of the royal dogs may be responsible for the disappearance. Can Basil help
Its going to require all of the great detectives skills to solve this case! Especially since it involves princes and pups, royal mice, the latest in photographic equipment, and a possible love matchbut they dont call Basil the Great Mouse Detective for nothing.
