We're Open!

Soodie and Scout, the antique detectives, are now open for business. Soodie has been preparing to start her own business with her partner, a Westie named Scout. Soodie knows a lot and has trained for many years, but Scout has the gift of scent and can sniff out fakes, frauds and forgeries. Together they make an impressive team.

Soodie went to all the right schools. By the age of 21 she found herself conversant in several different languages. Her mother was a close personal friend of Balenciaga, the great Basque courtier, and spent many of her summers basking in the Mediterranean sun on the deck of his private yacht.

As a child, Soodie was often treated like an after thought. She was cute, but her mother was beautiful. No spotlight was big enough for the two of them to share. As a lonely girl, shipped off to a private school, she spent her weekends at the manor house of an eccentric dowager. The house was filled with antique furniture and decorative arts. It wasn’t apparent at first, but Soodie soon became fascinated by these treasures.

The dowager suddenly died, the furnishings were carried off in the dead of night by a gang of hoodlums and sold for pennies. Soodie vowed revenge. Her love for these objects and the history they told convinced her to keep them alive.

He was born in a back alley of a squalid river town. He came up tough, and in order to survive he had to get tough and stay tough. Despite Scout’s humble beginnings, he was determined to better himself. When he saw Soodie, it was love at first sight. She was cool, elegant and unflappable. He was scruffy, disheveled and unmannerly. Albeit all the heartache, deep down Scout nurtured a spark that would eventually reveal a softer sensitive, more intellectual side. The two have been sharing adventures now for several years.
