At midnight on New Year's Eve every light in the Velvet Door went out for the kiss. When they came back on, the club's safe stood open and the year's takings, sixty thousand dollars, were gone. The doors had been watched all night. Nobody had left but the conga line.

Roaring Twenties: case 46

This Hell case seats 25 suspects on a 5×5 grid. 20 of them carry a clue; the other 5 only have something to say about themselves. 9 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 46 of the Roaring Twenties case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
