The Midnight Bank at the Casino Verlaine — the Crane file
The Verlaine does not lose, so when the books came up light, the house locked the doors. A row of private rooms, a floor of practiced faces, one forged chip. Unmask the forger, room by room. Statements were taken from all 4 players; Dashiell Crane's is the first page.
Open the case →🟡 MEDIUMThe Final Curtain at the Lyceum — the Sandoval file
On closing night the lead singer's diamond hair-clip vanished between the second-act bow and the final blackout. Each member of the company waited out the chaos in a separate dressing room down the backstage corridor. Walk the corridor, door by door, and place them. 5 performers, 5 dressing rooms, and no two accounts that quite agree — start with Emil Sandoval.
Open the case →🔴 HARDThe Eclipse Night at Cawdor Observatory — the Vaughn file
Every dome on the ridge logged the eclipse; only one logged a theft. The star map was there at totality and gone by dawn. Place each astronomer under the right dome. Statements were taken from all 5 astronomers; Soren Vaughn's is the first page.
