The Blackwood Manor Affair — the Crane file
Midnight, and the storm still has not broken. Somewhere between the first toast and the last thunderclap, the Blackwood heirloom walked out of its case. Every guest kept to a room along the great hall. Pin each of them to theirs. Statements were taken from all 4 guests; Lavinia Crane's is the first page.

Every guest on the top floor signed the book under a name that is not theirs. The bell captain kept his own count — suites, keys, and lies, front to back. Reconcile the corridor. The file names 5 guests; Lillian Royce's statement sits on top of the pile.

A cask of the estate's finest vintage was drained and switched the night before the auction. Each vintner worked alone in a different cellar vault along the chalk tunnel. Work the tunnel, vault by vault, and name who swapped the wine. 5 vintners, 5 vaults, and no two accounts that quite agree — start with Cosima Ricci.
