In a world where a single breach of etiquette can cost a life, honor is the ultimate mask and the deadliest weapon.
Step into the atmospheric, candlelit corridors of 19th-century Hanyang (modern-day Seoul). Behind the elegant, paper-thin walls of the noble hanok estates, secrets fester in the smoke of juniper incense. Here, Neo-Confucian law dictates every breath, and tradition reigns supreme. But beneath the ceremonial veneer of the Joseon Dynasty lies a web of forbidden desires, high-society scandals, and impossible crimes.
Enter Seol Rok-heon.
Living in the prestigious Bukchon district, Rok-heon is a nobleman with a brilliant, unorthodox mind. Dubbed the "Sherlock Holmes of Joseon," he doesn't rely on modern magnifying glasses. Instead, his weapons are a profound understanding of human nature, a razor-sharp intellect, and a dangerous willingness to look beyond rigid orthodoxy.
From masked conspirators to high-stakes political intrigues that threaten the throne, The Detective from Joseon delivers a collection of meticulously crafted historical mysteries. In this world, the truth is a dangerous commodity and it always hides in the shadows, just before the night falls.
