While ten thousand people stood on Michigan Avenue watching the Human Fly climb the face of the Lakeshore Grand, eleven suites on the floors he passed were robbed. The Human Fly, it seems, never once took his hands off the wall.

Roaring Twenties: case 21

This Hard case seats 20 suspects on a 4×5 grid. 15 of them carry a clue; the other 5 only have something to say about themselves. 8 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 21 of the Roaring Twenties case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
