Mystery Lane

watch teaser

Strange things are going on in London.

A star racing greyhound has vanished into thin air from its ultra-secure 100-square-foot pen, without the gate having been forced.

Two pigeons clearly saw a salamander generate a gigantic flash of lightening which plunged the entire Piccadilly district into a blackout.

A hamster was kidnapped from an apartment on the 70th floor by a flying creature. Witnesses described a dragon. In the eyes of the animals, such mysteries are unfathomable.

In all of London, there is only one animal capable of confronting enigmas of this scale: a hamster named Clever, a detective by trade – who consults in the basement room of the Lexington district pet shop.

Clever’s reputation is firmly established: she is endowed with a prodigious sense of observation and capacity for logical deduction that leave ordinary London animals tongue-tied.

Clever might claim to be the most intelligent hamster in the world, there are times when things do not quite go according to plan. And in these moments, you need to act without thinking too much.

But for this, she knows she can count on her hotheaded little brother Bro, who is always ready to attack adversaries far bigger than himself and take huge risks.

The dangers to overcome are equal to the extraordinary cases – which border on the supernatural – that Clever and Bro must confront. Will they triumph and resolve these enigmas which continue to baffle Scotland Yard?

Clever

1/4
Clever declares herself the “world’s best detective.” Indeed, the little hamster who lives in a Lexington pet shop possesses a fine sense of observation and an exceptional ability to deduce that allow her to resolve even the most insoluble mysteries. Assisted by her little brother Bro, she receives London animals in her secret office set up in the pet shop basement whenever they are confronted with strange, inexplicable problems. Clever belongs to one of the smallest animal species, but when she is on a trail, nothing will stop her until she closes her investigation.

Bro

1/3
Bro is Clever’s little brother. At first sight less dazzling than his sister, he possesses neither her talent for deduction nor her sense of observation. The exact opposite of his cerebral sister, he is action-oriented and often prefers to act before thinking. Nonetheless, he is sharp and brilliant, a mischievous prankster and very creative. Bro makes sparks fly with the games he invents and loves playing jokes on others, starting with his sister. Even if she’s almost impossible to surprise. From the most trivial to the most serious challenge, Bro shrinks from nothing and this makes him an indispensable partner for Clever.

MCFLARE

Detective McFlare, a typical Scotland Yard Scottish Terrier, is responsible for maintaining law and order in London's animal kingdom. McFlare is in charge of all investigations that concern the kingdom's animals, but when he comes across a particularly extraordinary case, he readily turns to Clever and Bro in whom he has complete trust. The two hamsters and McFlare form an effective trio, because beyond his fierce determination and his natural authority, McFlare provides support as a guarantor of the law. Although he has to put up with Bro's spy jokes and Clever's boring confidence, he never gets offended because he considers the two detectives to be true friends.
