The fifth race at Hawthorne Park was run in a fog so thick the grandstand couldn't see the far turn. A thirty-to-one outsider came out of it ten lengths clear and breathing easily, while the favourite came home blowing like a train.

Roaring Twenties: case 26

This Hard 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. 4 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 26 of the Roaring Twenties case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
