Every Tuesday a new player piano is delivered to the Velvet Door, and every Wednesday the old one is carted away. In six months nobody has ever heard either of them play. Meanwhile, the Gold Coast has lost a fortune in jewellery to burglars nobody has seen.

Roaring Twenties: case 13

This Medium case seats 20 suspects on a 4×5 grid. 17 of them carry a clue; the other 3 only have something to say about themselves. 1 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 13 of the Roaring Twenties case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
