An anxious woman. A string of amber beads. And a second visitor who changes everything. The Second Customer and the Amber Beads is a case of quiet tension that builds into deadly consequence.

When a mysterious woman leaves behind a necklace and a half-told story in a quiet London shop, the owner senses something is terribly wrong. Soon after, a second customer appears—this one asking questions the first dared not answer. In this atmospheric mystery by Fergus Hume, small details unravel a much larger scheme, where identity, possession, and the cost of secrets come sharply into focus. What seems like a chance encounter becomes a fatal connection.

This episode offers an elegant, haunting puzzle—driven by suspense, intuition, and the unseen ties that bind.

Written and created by Fergus Hume.
