Halfway through the Belgravia ball, Lady Ashcombe's pug, Napoleon, vanished from his cushion. By the ices she had a note: fifty guineas, left beneath the third lamp in Eaton Square, or no more Napoleon. He is the fourth Belgravia dog to be taken this season.

Victorian London: case 13

This Medium case seats 20 suspects on a 4×5 grid. 18 of them carry a clue; the other 2 only have something to say about themselves. 2 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 13 of the free Victorian London case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
